Jim Matzorkis worked as the Richmond Port Director for 17 years. Thanks to his guidance and leadership, the Richmond Port saw growth in its partnerships with various local and international businesses. Jim was instrumental in sustaining the sister city relationship with Zhoushan, to increase trade and educational growth.  With Jim’s efforts, he sponsored Students Exchange Programs, and business development, also built a significant partnership between the two cities, and his legacy will live on with the Jim Marzorkis Education Program to inspire students, leaders, and citizens across the globe.
