Lori Ann Farrell Harrison was elected president of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners by fellow board members at their meeting on July 28.

The commissioners also elected Lou Anne Bynum vice president, and Tracy Egoscue secretary.The commission each July selects board officers from its own members for one-year terms.

Ms. Farrell Harrison is the director of finance for the City of Huntington Beach and was previously chief financial officer for the City of Long Beach. She was appointed to the harbor commission in 2013 by then-Mayor Bob Foster. The commission president chairs board meetings and represents the port to the public.

"I look forward to working with our customers, staff of the Harbor Department, the City of Long Beach and the community to further our goal of strengthening our Port so it continues to be one of the most competitive seaports in the world. Thank you for putting your faith and confidence in me," she said.

Ms. Farrell Harrison and Ms. Bynum succeed Doug Drummond and Rich Dines as president and vice president, respectively.

Under the city charter, the mayor of Long Beach appoints City residents to the Harbor Commission for a six-year term. The five-member commission oversees the Long Beach Harbor Department and directs the CEO, who in turn manages the more than 500-person port staff.
