Kat Janowicz, founder and president of 3COTECH, has been elected president of the Harbor Association of Industry & Commerce (HAIC) for 2021. Established in 1975, HAIC is a nonprofit industry and commercial trade association that serves as a collective voice to advocate for the harbor business community on important issues pertaining to economic, environmental and public policies.
“This year, HAIC will face both challenges and opportunities. In addition to COVID-19, our focus will on the economy, energy, environmental concerns, and access to capital for infrastructure to maintain and enhance the movement of goods and people,” she said. “My 2021 vision for HAIC has five pillars: 1) reach a broader audience; 2) develop an HAIC digital legacy; 3) expand education and workforce programs; 4) increase legislative advocacy; and 5) engage more HAIC members. I look forward to working together with our members to continue our contributions to these critical drivers of harbor business policy.”
