The Club’s 50th Anniversary dinner meeting series will resume on Thursday, September 5, 2024, with an after-dinner presentation on the STATE OF THE MARITIME INDUSTRY.
We've been fortunate to secure Captain Jeffrey Monroe, MM, MTM, AMPE, an internationally known port and terminal expert, as our after-dinner speaker. Captain Monroe serves as the Director of Education and Standards and board member of the International Association of Maritime and Port Executives (IAMPE). He speaks widely to industry groups and delivers initial and continuing education programs to maritime and port executives throughout North America.
Prior to service with IAMPE, Captain Monroe was Deputy Port Director of MASSPORT’s Port of Boston and subsequently Director of Ports and Transportation for Portland Maine where he managed the port, the Portland Jetport and municipal transportation. Capt. Monroe holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marine Transportation from Maine Maritime Academy; a Master of Science Degree in Transportation Management from the State University of New York; a U.S. Coast Guard issued Federal License as Master, Steam and Motor Vessels, Any Gross Tonnage, Oceans; numerous professional maritime certifications and is an Accredited Marine Port Executive, endorsed by the Loeb-Sullivan Graduate School of International Business and Logistics at Maine Maritime Academy.
Captain Monroe most recently spoke to the North Atlantic Ports Association at their Annual Meeting here in Portsmouth in June where his presentation was very well received.
Plan now to join your fellow Club members to hear Captain Monroe's observations on the current status of global shipping; the merchant marine community that supports it in the U.S.; and recent developments at U.S. port facilities. Bring your questions on any global maritime topics, e.g., the persistent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, the drought limiting Panama Canal transits, Baltimore’s Dali collision and bridge safety, the growing influence of the Chinese government in ports around the world and other topics of interest.
This dinner meeting will be an excellent opportunity for you to introduce the Club to your friends and associates who may be interested in joining the Club as members or sponsors. Registration is limited to members and their guests until August 1st. Members must make payment at the time of registration.
