Campbell as its chairman today, succeeding Danny Hughes, whose term as chairman expired. Hughes will continue to serve as a commissioner. <p>Campbell, who is president of the International Longshoremen s Association Local 3000, is the first ILA president to serve on the Board. He has led the local ILA since 2000 and has established a record of working with all Port entities to bring stability to the maritime industry in New Orleans. A graduate of Alcorn State University in Mississippi, Campbell has worked with the ILA Local 3000 since 1985 in various capacities.  I will work to prepare the Port of New Orleans to be the leading port in the Gulf region, Campbell said. <p>Former Governor Kathleen Blanco appointed Campbell to the Board in November of 2004, as one of four representatives from Orleans Parish to the seven-member Board, which governs public port operations in Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes. <p>Capt. A.J. Gibbs, president of the Crescent River Port Pilots Association, who was appointed to the Board in December of 2005, was elected vice chairman; and Thomas Westfeldt, president of Westfeldt Brothers Inc., was elected secretary-treasurer. <p>The Board s commissioners serve five-year staggered terms. The unsalaried board members are appointed by the Governor of Louisiana from a list of three nominees submitted by 19 local civic, labor, education and maritime groups. The Board reflects the three-parish jurisdiction, with four members from Orleans Parish, two from Jefferson Parish and one from St. Bernard Parish. <p>Other members of the Board include John Fay Jr., Wayne Mumphrey and Valerie Cahill. </div> <br><br><br> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="footer_left">&copy; All Rights Reserved.&nbsp;&nbsp;2010 International Longshoremen's Association</div> <div class="footer_right"><a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="about.html">About</a> | <a href="contact.html">Contact</a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
