CSA Past Presidents - Fernando Rivera

Fernando Rivera

2006-09 Puerto Rico

Fernando Rivera was born in Jayuya, Puerto Rico. He has worked for San Juan-based Harbor Bunkering since 1989 and has attended CSA AGMs since 1992.

Fernando cites a trio of key mentors during his time with the CSA – Ludlow Stewart, David Harding and Roland Malins Smith – and has the highest of regard for all three men, two of which were fellow Association presidents.

Following Fernando’s period of president, he cheerfully took on the demanding role as Association general manager and has worked closely with the Kingston-based Secretariat until his retirement earlier this year. (see separate story). Arguably, he has been the CSA’s most loyal servant.
