Shipyard CEO, port commissioner, earn Puget Sound achievement awards
The 2010 Puget Sound Maritime Achievement Award was given to Todd Shipyard’s CEO Steve Welch on Tuesday at the annual Seattle maritime festival luncheon aboard the Carnival Cruise Lines’ Spirit during that vessel’s inaugural call at the Port of Seattle’s Terminal 91.
The award, according to the Seattle Propeller Club: “is presented annually to an individual who has shown outstanding leadership and brought great credit or economic benefit to the maritime interests of the region.”
Welch was recognized “for his inclusive, team–oriented management style, which has assured Todd Shipyard is known for timely and quality workmanship, despite a backlog of business,” according to the Propeller Club’s press release.
The 2010 Puget Sound Maritime Industry Public Official of the Year award went to Port of Seattle Port Commission President Bill Bryant “for his leadership in making the key role the port plays in our regional economy known to elected officials and Puget Sound civic leadership and for assuring that the environment does not suffer as the port aggressively seeks to expand employment and trade opportunities for residents of our state,” the statement said.
Past recipients include senators Patty Murray and Slade Gorton, representatives Norm Dicks, port commissioners Pat Davis and Ted Bottiger, and state Representatives Ed Murray, Helen Sommers, and Karen Schmidt.
