Port San Antonio is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by San Antonio City Council members and the Mayor — civic and business leaders accountable to the communities they represent.
The Board sets strategy, approves major transactions and holds Port San Antonio accountable to the region it serves. Each San Antonio City Council district appoints a director, the Mayor names one additional appointee, and members serve staggered terms so institutional knowledge carries forward year over year.
