Enlow, who is CEO of Unisea, replaces Peter Pan's Barry Collier, who was president of the ASMI board. A spokeswoman for Walker says Enlow was chosen to replace Collier, because Walker wanted another Alaskan on the board.
Riggs replaces Icicle’s Amy Humphreys who left the board last year after leaving Icicle.
Ocean Beauty CEO Mark Palmer, of Seattle, was also reappointed for another three-year term.
