Port of San Diego Commissioner Ann Moore Earns National Planning Award

Washington, D.C. – Port of San Diego Commissioner Ann Moore has been selected by the American Planning Association (APA) to receive the 2016 National Planning Excellence Award for a Planning Advocate. This award is the result of Commissioner Moore’s leadership and work in launching the agency-wide Integrated Planning initiative overseeing California’s San Diego Bay waterfront.
The Planning Advocate award recognizes citizens or public officials whose work has advanced the cause of planning—the endeavor of creating and enriching communities—and is presented to just one individual nationwide each year. “Through her tireless and ambitious efforts in creating a proactive, long-term plan for the Port of San Diego, Ann has been instrumental in driving consensus among multiple divergent interests and ensuring a sound vision for the Port’s future,” said Port Commissioner Bob Nelson, who nominated Moore for the award. “She is a true champion of planning and has helped colleagues, local businesses, and the community share her fervent commitment and enthusiasm.”Port of San Diego
