The marine highway system’s general manager of nearly 20 years, Capt. John Falvey, has announced his retirement. His last day will be Jan. 17.
“The system is in a really vulnerable place, right now,” said Shirley Marquardt, board president. In terms of talking about planning for succession and transition, how does that work?”“I really recognize there’s a lot of change going on right now. And that’s a serious thing,” Anderson said.
Anderson said they will be “aggressively” looking for Falvey’s replacement over the next month through a national search. They did not have a job description ready at the time of the board meeting. Retiring Capt. Falvey served through five administrations. He was appointed as AMHS general manager in 2004 by Gov. Frank Murkowski. Before that, Falvey worked for 27 years in commercial shipbuilding, and in ocean-class vessel and fast ferry operations, including crew management. He graduated from the Maine Maritime Academy in 1976.
“He worked through quite a bit of financial and political chaos, which is normal, everyone has to do it, but he did that for 20 years,” Marquardt said. “Your time at AMHS is greatly appreciated by thousands and thousands of Alaskans.”
