Port of Greater Baton Rouge announced the appointment of three directors who will strengthen the organization's leadership team and support its continued growth and strategic priorities. Tim Pinter will serve as Director of Business Development, Melissa Folse as Director of Corporate & Legal Affairs, and Candace L. Griffin as Director of Communications & Grants

Pinter's appointment follows Greg Johnson's previously announced promotion to Executive Director. Johnson, who served as Deputy Director while also overseeing Business Development, helped advance key initiatives that Pinter will continue to build upon.

Folse will succeed Steve Glusman, who is retiring after more than 40 years of service to PGBR, including his work as outside counsel and, for the past 11 years, as general counsel. Griffin's appointment further strengthens the organization's communications and stakeholder engagement efforts while expanding its focus on identifying grant funding opportunities to support strategic investments and future growth.

Pinter will lead the Port's business development efforts, focusing on strategic partnerships, identifying opportunities for growth, and strengthening relationships with stakeholders and industry partners.
