Port of Seattle to Hire Director of Procurement

In response to the highly critical audit of the Port of Seattle's construction management and contracting practices issued in late December 2007, the Port has begun recruiting for a new position: Director, Central Procurement Office. The creation and hiring of this new position was one of the key recommendations that the State Auditor made to the Port to begin to address the systemic contracting and procurement deficiencies in the Port's operations.
