Hong Kong, Feb 3, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Passport Potash Inc. ("Passport Potash" or the "Company"; TSX.V:PPI; OTCQX:PPRTF), an American resource company, is pleased to announce that former United States Congressman Matthew Salmon has been appointed to the Company's Board of Directors, effective 1 February 2012.
Mr Salmon began his career in public service as an Arizona State Senator, a position in which he served from 1991 to 1995. While in the Senate, he served as the Assistant Majority Leader and chaired the Rules Committee.
From 1995 to 2001 Mr Salmon represented Arizona in the United States House of Representatives, where he served on the International Relations, Education, Small Business, and Science Committees. He also served for six years on the Helsinki Commission and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) where he developed myriad and key relationships with parliamentary members from OSCE. He was an active and influential member of both those organizations. In 2000 Mr Salmon did not stand for reelection, honoring a pledge made in his first Congressional campaign to serve only three terms.
While in Congress, he led several United States Congressional delegations to China to improve trade relations and bilateral relationships. He was the only Member of the United States Congress in America's history who speaks Mandarin Chinese. This expertise served him well as one of the leading advocates of a positive United States and China relationship.
Congressman Salmon has over twenty years of experience in both the public and private sector. During his career he has emphasized managing relations at all levels of government and in the process has garnered significant media relations experience. Mr Salmon formed Upstream Consulting, Inc. ("Upstream"), a political consulting firm with offices in Washington, DC and Phoenix, Arizona. Upstream focuses on the development of intelligent, strategic and highly effective messaging strategies for their clients. Since June 2011 Upstream has served as a consultant for the Company.
Passport Potash's President and CEO Mr Joshua Bleak commented, "we are extremely pleased to have Mr Salmon join Passport Potash's Board. We are confident that Mr Salmon's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable resource to our Board of Directors."
Mr Salmon commented, "I am honored to join Passport Potash, and am excited to help push forward a project with such economic potential for Arizona."
Passport Potash would also like to announce that Laara Shaffer has resigned from the Board of Directors and would like to thank her for her service in that capacity. Ms Shaffer will continue as CFO and Secretary for the Company.
