Pittis named to state, regional roles

Anacortes Port Commissioner Kathy Pittis was recently elected as president of the Washington Public Ports Association (WPPA) and has also agreed to an appointment to the NW Career & Technical Academy General Advisory Committee. The academy advisory appointment, she said, “blends my passion for education with the Port and WPPA roles.” The WPPA presidency is a one-year commitment. Pittis was elected at the organization’s annual meeting on December 4. She stated in an email to the Anacortes American: “To say I am honored is an understatement.” Pittis worked on Port staff for 21 years and has subsequently served as a Port Commissioner since 2018.
