Oakland Port Board elects Joan Story as President
Joan Story has been elected to a one-year term as president of the board of port commissioners at the Port of Oakland. The port’s seven-member governing body unanimously selected Ms. Story for the post at its meeting of July 13.
A board member since July 2015, Ms. Story is a real estate attorney with the international law firm of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton. She graduated from Occidental College and subsequently received a master’s in political science from UCLA and a law degree from UC Davis. She is a former member of The Trust for Public Land California Advisory Board and the board of the Child Care Law Center.
As president, Ms. Story succeeds Commissioner Michael Colbruno, who remains a board member. At that same meeting, the board also elected Cestra "Ces" Butner as first vice president and Andreas Cluver as second vice-president for terms of one year each.
Board members are appointed by the Mayor of Oakland, subject to the approval of the city council.
