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.
Port Members
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
AGLPA Associate Members are partners across the Great Lakes maritime network. Their expertise and partnership strengthen ports, advance regional prosperity, and help shape the future of the Great Lakes.
