The Long Beach City Council has voted unanimously to confirm Mayor Rex Richardson’s reappointment of Sharon L. Weissman to the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, extending her service through June 30, 2032.
The five-member commission sets policy for the Port of Long Beach and the City’s Harbor Department.
Weissman was first appointed to the Harbor Commission in July 2020 by then-Mayor Robert Garcia, during which time she served as board president, vice president and secretary in successive one-year roles.
She joined the commission following a retirement from a long public sector career specialising in transportation planning, goods movement, sustainability and budgetary policy, including a senior advisory and transportation deputy role under former mayor Garcia.
Beyond her port responsibilities, Weissman is an active civic leader, having served on the boards of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation, the Arts Council for Long Beach, Sister Cities of Long Beach and the Long Beach Fair Housing Foundation, and continuing to serve on the Board of Directors of the Long Beach Symphony.
Weissman is the 72nd Long Beach Harbor Commissioner since the current commission structure was established in 1925. The City Council approved her reappointment on June 9.
