2024 Heroes of the Harbor

HEROES OF THE HARBOR 2024

Every year, the Waterfront Alliance's honors at its Heroes of the Harbor gala those who have contributed to the vibrancy, sustainability, economy, education, and awareness of the New York and New Jersey harbor, its port, and the metropolitan area. This event elevates the importance of our waterways, port, and coastlines to decision makers, influencers, and leadership.

We are excited to share a wonderful night of celebration with you on October 16, 2024 recognizing our honorees and 17 years of outstanding progress as a leadership organization. The evening includes a room full of maritime leadership, amazing networking, an extensive pescatarian menu, extraordinary river views, and hours of fun to be had with charitable gaming where you can win great prizes and bragging rights at blackjack, roulette, craps or poker—all in service of lifting up some exceptional heroes and supporting Waterfront Alliance's core work through the year.

This year, we honor:

• Christopher O. Ward, Former Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection
  
• The East Side Coastal Resiliency Project
