Pr esenter(s): Paul White, Commission Clerk . Since the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) was founded in 2015, the Port of Seattle’s meeting schedule has changed from three meetings a month to two. The meeting typically held on the first Tuesday of the month has effectively been replaced by the NWSA’s monthly meeting. Changing the meeting schedule in the bylaws will reflect current practices. Defining the role of Vice President as president - e lect will ensure continuity of leadership and will make it easier fo r Commissioners and Port staff to plan for the beginning of each year. This is a structure commonly used by other boards, and provisions have be en made for the election of a President i f the Vice President is unable to serve. The Vice President will also s erve as chair of the Audit Committee . F amiliarity with the Port’s i nternal a udit process provides knowledge and experience that is useful in fulfilling the role of Commission President. Clarification was sought regarding the Port of Seattle’s role in noticing NWSA meetings, and Commissioners discussed the benefits of redefining the Vice President’s role.
