The Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Daniel B. Maffei has announced the hiring of William “Bill” Cody to serve as the US agency’s Secretary.
Cody has more than 20 years of extensive legal and administrative experience at the federal and state government levels as well as in the private sector.
He most recently worked as an attorney for the US Department of Energy, and earlier in his career, he held positions in the Louisiana state government and the US House of Representatives.
Moreover, the new Secretary of FMC earned a Juris Doctorate from the Loyola University School of Law and is admitted to the Louisiana and District of Columbia bars. He had also earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas.
“Mr Cody has important legal and administrative experience in government and the private sector that includes a strong background in maritime issues,” said Chairman Maffei who added that “The Commission and those it serves will benefit from this experience during his new assignment.”
The Office of the Secretary is the conduit for all matters and documents submitted to and emanating from the Commission. It also manages the Commission’s agenda, votes, and meetings.
