Guam - The Port Authority of Guam's board of directors held a special meeting today to greet and officially appoint its new general manager and former Guam International Airport Authority's executive manager Mary Torres and bid a farewell to the former general manager and incoming director of the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency, Pedro Leon Guerrero.
Leon Guerrero says he enjoyed his year's stint as GM at the Port and hopes to continue to work in collaboration with the Port through Customs to ensure containers go out in a timely manner. "What I want to learn is exactly what they do, I want to learn what there needs are and I've been talking to them with a few ideas, but I want to just meet all the officers of Customs and see what the needs are and do my best to support it," he said.
Torres meanwhile looks forward to continuing the projects at the Port, namely the Port Modernization Program and feels privileged to run the agency. She told KUAM News, "I had a very good experience at the airport moving some very contentious projects forward, and I hope as we go into the modernization and also upgrading the facilities at the Port Authority, that I can be as effective in whatever way that I can bring to the table."
Torres was at the airport for over three years. Taking over as her successor is longtime Civil Defense administrator Chuck Ada.
