Port communicators headed for Port Canaveral

Port communicators headed for Port Canaveral Port communications specialists from Florida, the Caribbean islands and Latin America will have an opportunity to stay within their region for this year's annual seminar on public relations offered by the American Association of Port Authorities.
   The AAPA, which is headquartered just outside Washington in Alexandria, Va., will hold this year's public relations seminar at Cape Canaveral June 13-15.
   'Without question, seaports throughout the Western Hemisphere — as well as the transportation connections that serve seaports — are under increasing capacity pressures, both from growing freight and cruise passenger volumes, and from the communities affected by this growth,' said Kurt Nagle, AAPA's president and chief executive officer. 'AAPA's public relations seminar will help port public relations practitioners with a program that educates, excites and engages them to enhance the way they interact with their communities. Only by bringing key stakeholders together can ports develop the partnerships and resources they need to tackle today's growing congestion problems.'
   The seminar will be held at the Radisson Resort at the Port. Registration information is available at www.aapa-ports.org.
