At its 103rd Annual Luncheon meeting in June, the San Francisco Travel Association presented the Silver Cable Car Award to Monique Moyer, executive director of the Port of San Francisco. The Silver Cable Car Award is presented annually by San Francisco Travel to an individual or organization that has made a significant contribution to San Francisco’s visitor industry.
"Monique Moyer is a very special person in San Francisco, especially for the travel and tourism industry," said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of San Francisco Travel. "There is very little that she hasn’t personally touched or enabled to happen in San Francisco, especially with infrastructure." D’Alessandro cited Moyer’s work on Moscone South, when she was in the private sector and Moscone West, when she was director of public finance, as well as AT&T Park and the de Young Museum. More recent projects and initiatives in which Moyer has played a role include the new Exploratorium, James R. Herman Terminal and the 34th America’s Cup.
In videotaped remarks, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom said, "I think the best thing we did in the years when I was mayor was to get Monique Moyer to run the port."
"We are in the midst of a wonderful renaissance of the San Francisco waterfront that is touching the lives of San Franciscans and visitors in so many ways. The commission commends Monique for her contribution and leadership in this effort and congratulates her on receiving the Silver Cable Car award," noted Doreen Woo Ho, president of the Port Commission.
