Port Names Hinojos-Fall, Meyer to Ethics Board

New members bring experience as EEOC judge, King County ombudsman to panel

The Port of Seattle Commission voted to name Zulema Hinojos-Fall and Paul R. Meyer to the organization's Ethics Board, which oversees compliance with the Commission's ethics policy. The new members will serve a term of three years on the five-member panel.

Since 2001, Ms. Hinojos-Fall has served as an Administrative Judge for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Prior to holding that position, she served as Judge Pro-Tempore for the City of Seattle Municipal Court and as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the King County Prosecutor's Office. She also has extensive experience in employment discrimination litigation.

Mr. Meyer also brings considerable expertise to the board. Prior to forming his own management consulting service, he served as King County Ombudsman for five years, mediating citizen and labor issues with members at all levels of King County government. He also worked for the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, and for the Washington State Association of County Commissioners.

"The Ethics Board serves a vital purpose for us, and we are grateful to the citizens who give their time to the Port," said Commission President John Creighton. "I am very pleased that Zulema and Paul are willing to lend their impressive credentials to the Board."

Resumes for Ms. Hinojos-Fall and Mr. Meyer are available on the Port's website. Also serving on the Ethics Board are Jim White, former Mayor, City of Federal Way; Virg Fassio, former Publisher, Seattle Post-Intelligencer; and John Strait, attorney and faculty member at Seattle University. Mr. Strait currently serves as chair of the Ethics Board.

Port of Seattle transportation facilities support nearly 200,000 jobs in the Puget Sound region and generate more than $12 billion in business revenue and $626 million in state and local taxes annually.
