| Info | Patricia Davis is chair and president of the the Port of Seattle Commission for 2003. She was first elected to the Commission in 1985. She was re-elected in 1991, 1997 and 2001. She served as Commission president in 1989, 1990, 1994 and 1999.
During Davis' tenure, the Port has set trade records in the Seattle harbor and at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Davis has taken part in the Port's development of a long-term strategic plan and construction of modern facilities for movement of cargo and people. She has taken an active role in the Port's successful efforts to reduce airport noise and to clean up polluted industrial sites, returning them to productive use.
Davis also has worked to establish partnerships between the Port and community, business and government organizations, and has fostered education about the importance of trade.
Davis served as President of the Washington Council on International Trade from 1994 to 2001 and is currently a member of the council's Executive Board of Directors. A private non-profit trade policy organization, WCIT promotes understanding of the importance of trade. Activities include two-week summer seminars for teachers and public programs featuring authorities in trade and providing information on trade policy issues for decision-makers at state and national levels. Davis played a key role in bringing the World Trade Organization's 1999 Ministerial Conference to Seattle.
Davis serves on the Board of Governors for the National Center for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and is an Executive Board member on the Puget Sound Regional Council. She is a founding member of the Pacific International Relations Council, a member of the Tri-County ESA Executive Committee, the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, the Central Puget Sound Economic Development District, the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the King County International Trade Board.
She formerly served on the boards of the Seattle-King County Economic Development Council, Puget Sound Ports Group, Trade Development Alliance, Bellevue Summit, National Cruise Ship Alliance, International Women's Conference, North Seattle Community College International Trade Institute and Seattle University Albers School of Business.
As the first woman to be elected to the Seattle Port Commission and its first woman president, Davis hopes to raise the visibility of women in non-traditional roles.
Davis was born and raised in Washington State. An honors graduate of Stanford University, she holds a master's degree in history from the University of Washington. She and her family have lived in Seattle for more than 30 years, with the exception of several years' residence in Europe in the 1960s.
