“It was a true honour to simply be nominated as a Commissioner of the Federal Maritime Commission, and to now be tapped as chair[wo]man is nothing short of a privilege,” Chairwoman DiBella remarked.
“I am humbled and grateful for the faith that President Trump has demonstrated in me with this designation, and the gravity and responsibility of the role is not lost on me.
