In addition, IRPT Members are invited to participate in a luncheon with General Stephen R. Lyons (U.S. Army, Retired) on Tuesday, April 4th (additional details to come). RSVP will be required.
President Joe Biden’s administration appointed Retired Gen. Stephen Lyons, former commander of the U.S. Transportation Command as its new Port and Supply Chain Envoy for the Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force.
Lyons, the administration said, will work with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the White House National Economic Council (NEC), ports, rail, trucking, and other private companies to address supply chain issues to speed up the movement of goods, and lower costs for American families.

As previously announced, the Port of the Future Conference provides a free registration to one representative from each participating port.
