The World Trade Center of New Orleans announced March 10 that Sean M. Duffy Sr., executive director of Big River Coalition and executive vice president of the Louisiana Maritime Association, will receive its 2022 C. Alvin Bertel Award. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 24 at the Plimsoll Ballroom in the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans. The Bertel Award was established in 1967 and is presented each year to an individual who has made significant contributions to the Louisiana port and maritime community. "I am honored to accept the prestigious Bertel Award from the World Trade Center, and I genuinely feel the sheer weight of this recognition. I have a long admiration and historic connection to the Bertel Award that adds a layer of personal pride," Duffy said. He added, "However, individual successes have been achieved with the sup- port of an amazing team of colleagues, friends and stakeholders who also make their unique livelihoods along the mighty river. I humbly accept this award on behalf of that team (Team Mississippi River), with specific thanks to the members of the Big River Coalition and the Louisiana Maritime Association for their unwavering support." |
