The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners on Monday named Stephanie Montuya-Morisky, a former assistant director of communications for the Port of Long Beach, to lead the Port’s Communications and Community Relations Division as director.

The Communications and Community Relations Division informs and educates the public, media and industry about the Port’s multibillion-dollar modernization program, its role as an economic engine in facilitating domestic and international trade as the nation’s second-busiest seaport, and its innovative, award-winning sustainability programs that are achieving documented environmental progress.

Most recently, Montuya-Morisky has been Vice President of Corporate Communications and Public Policy for InductEV, a global startup company specializing in electric charging products for zero-emissions commercial fleet vehicles. The hiring of Montuya-Morisky is a homecoming to the Port, where she was assistant director of the Communications and Community Relations Division from January 2019 until earlier this year. She previously was public affairs officer at the Long Beach Airport and also worked as a news producer, reporter and anchor for KGET-TV and KERN Radio in Bakersfield.
