The Voice of Great Lakes Ports

Championing Policy, Partnership, and Progress Across the Great Lakes.

The American Great Lakes Ports Association (AGLPA) is the only organization dedicated exclusively to U.S. Great Lakes commercial ports and the communities they serve. Our work is driven by the leadership of our Port Members and strengthened by Associate Members who contribute expertise and partnership. Together, we advance policies and strengthen collaboration to support a strong, competitive, and connected Great Lakes maritime system.

AGLPA Port Members are public port agencies on the U.S. side of the Great Lakes. These agencies are typically a division of state, county or municipal government, or an independent public agency created by state statute.

Associate Members
