Jacksonville Business Journal Award Program Recognizes Business
& Community Leaders JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 21
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tamara (Tami) Porter, Director of East
Coast & Gulf Terminal Operations for Horizon Lines was named a
2007 Women of Influence honoree at a breakfast held yesterday in
Jacksonville, FL. The Women of Influence Award honors women in
Jacksonville and Northeast Florida who have demonstrated leadership
and the entrepreneurial spirit within their particular industry or
business sector as well as contributed their time and talents to
the community at large. The award was presented by David Sillick,
Publisher of The Business Journal. As Director of East Coast &
Gulf Terminal Operations, Tami is responsible for the effective
loading and delivery of over 113,000 containers annually and the
efficiency of vessel operations for 190 ship arrivals per year. She
has earned and enjoyed great success in what was formerly
considered a non- traditional role for women -- port operations.
Tami's team consistently outperforms targets on service reliability
and schedule integrity -- two critical attributes in the
transportation industry. She also volunteers at St. Gerard Campus
in St. Augustine, working with potential adoptive parents.
"Congratulations to Tami on this most deserved recognition," said
John V. Keenan, President of Horizon Lines, LLC. "We say here at
Horizon Lines that 'It's about the people' and Tami is a great
example of the kind of commitment, talent and enthusiasm we have to
share with our customers, our associates and our communities."
