Board of Commissioners

Since 1912, 33 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.

Over the last 100 years, citizens of Clark County have selected port commissioners with a strong commitment towards making decisions in the vested interest of the people they represent. The port district is divided into three commission districts, each with an elected official.

Today, port commissioners Brian Wolfe, Nancy Baker and Jerry Oliver  represent the citizens of Clark County.

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

Larry Paulson, as port executive director, manages a staff of 94 people involved in day-to-day port operations. Paulson reports directly to the three elected commissioners.
