Port of Oakland names woman as environmental chief
THE Port of Oakland has appointed Colleen Liang as its new director of the environmental programmes and planning (EP&P) division.
Ms Liang joined the port in 2000 and has served in every environmental position, most recently as acting director of EP&P.
"I am truly honoured to be given the opportunity to lead a great team in the Environmental Programes and Planning division and oversee the port's stewardship of the Oakland waterfront," said Ms Liang.
In her new role, Ms Liang will continue to oversee the port's zero emissions programme, environmental compliance, hazardous waste and materials management, planning and permitting programs, and grant funding opportunities for zero emissions and sustainability projects.
"It is important to me to continue building on the port's momentum of environmental innovation and sustainability," Ms Liang said. "I'm thrilled to be a part of this exciting time as we plan to transform the Port of Oakland operations to zero emissions and improve our sustainability practices to be resilient for the future."
Mr Liang received a bachelor of science degree in Applied Ecology from the University of California, Irvine.
