2011 Heroes of the Harbor Awards Dinner
Each year the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance celebrates the heroes who are working to make our harbor a healthy, thriving, world-class resource for all.

The Heroes of the Harbor Awards Dinner is a unique evening of fine food, drink, and entertainment set against the backdrop of the waterfront. Including our famous Parade of Boats, the event is a perfect opportunity to relax, celebrate the Alliance's hard work over the past year, and honor some of the region's most distinguished waterfront leaders--all while supporting MWA.
In 2011 MWA is proud to recognize: Hudson River Park, with Madelyn Wils accepting--for providing a world-class model for waterfront open space, access, and activity; and James J. Devine, President and CEO of New York Container Terminal--for his visionary leadership as a port-executive and steadfast environmentalist. Join MWA for this exciting event:
