AAPA Names Schultz

Executive Director

The board of directors of The

American Association of Port Au- thorities has named Richard L.

Schultz of Cleveland, Ohio, as the executive director of the 62-year- old association. The appointment was announced by association presi- dent Charles S. Devoy, executive director and general manager of the

Port of Galveston, Texas.

Effective July 1, Mr. Schultz, who is executive director of the

Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port

Authority, will replace Paul A.

Amundsen, who has served the association since 1945. The board appointed Mr. Amundsen as tech- nical services consultant, a newly created post which will enable him to concentrate on special projects.

The association's membership is made up of a virtually unanimous representation of the public seaport agencies of the Western Hemi- sphere.

Mr. Schultz becomes the third man to lead AAPA affairs in the association's long history. Mr.

Amundsen's predecessor, Tiley S.

McChesney of New Orleans, La., served as secretary-treasurer of the association for a quarter of a cen- tury.

Mr. Schultz is a 1952 graduate of the Wharton School, University of

Pennsylvania, where he majored in transportation. He has served at

Cleveland since February 1969, and headed the Port of Brownsville as port director 'and general manager from April 1965 to February 1969.

He was second in command at the port for a 10-year period preceding that. Mr. Schultz entered the port business with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1953, serving more than two years as promotion agent for the marine terminals department. His earlier experience included five years of sea service, and he still holds a valid master's license. He thus brings to his AAPA post experi- ence with public port organizations from three coastlines and a back- ground in marine transportation.
