Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (Ga-01) released the following statement today after the Georgia Ports Authority’s Board of Directors announced that its Executive Director, Curtis J. Foltz, will step down after twelve years of service.
“I want to thank Curtis for his tireless efforts over the last twelve years. The Ports of Savannah and Brunswick are critical economic drivers for our local economy and are responsible for hundreds of thousands of jobs in the First District of Georgia and across the state. This great responsibility requires confident leadership and Curtis has gone above and beyond during his time as Executive Director. I wish Mr. Foltz and his family the best in the future.”
The Georgia Ports Authority’s Board of Directors also announced today that Chief Operating Officer, Griff Lynch, will succeed Foltz.
“I welcome and congratulate Griff to the position. I am confident he will continue the important work for our ports and I look forward to working together.”
