Commission

Since 1912, 36 individuals have served as commissioners at the Port of Vancouver USA. Each made contributions that have collectively molded and shaped the port’s role in our community.

Today, Port of Vancouver USA Commissioners Don Orange, Jack Burkman and Eric LaBrant represent the citizens of Clark County.

Commissioners are elected to six-year terms and are responsible for setting policy for the port as a public agency. Commissioners work part-time and can be reached at their home phone number by calling our front desk at 360-693-3611 for contact information.

The port’s CEO manages a staff of more than 100 people involved in day-to-day port operations. The CEO reports directly to the port’s three commissioners.
