Boyle Resigns As Executive Director Of NY/NJ Port Authority
Robert Boyle, executive director of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, announced his resignation from his post at a meeting on Wednesday evening. It was reported that Boyle told the agency's 7,000 employees that he had decided to leave his post as soon as a transition could be accomplished. Boyle was appointed to the head position of the bistate agency in March 1997. The organization runs the three major New York airports - John F. Kennedy, Newark and LaGuardia. JFK and Newark have extensive cargo operations. While a Port Authority spokesman did not elaborate on whom Boyle's successor would be, industry sources said a possible choice is Lillian Borrone, who was promoted to the number two job of assistant executive director on September 11 this year.
Van Tol Honored for 30 Years of Service
Arie Van Tol, a veteran Port Authority employee who currently manages the New York Marine Terminals, has been honored for more than 30 years of distinguished service to the bistate agency and the maritime community, Port Commerce Director Richard M. Larrabee announced today. Larrabee presented Van Tol, a Montville, N.J., resident, with the Lillian C. Borrone Award, given to individuals who render unusually effective service to the port community. The award is named for Lillian C. Borrone, a longtime director of the Port Authority’s Port Commerce Department who retired in 2001. “Arie is the consummate maritime industry professional who cares deeply about the Port Authority’s maritime terminal facilities and its tenants,” Mr. Larrabee said.
