A special moment unfolded today at the Chamber office as Tampa Fire Rescue Chief Barbara Tripp, the latest Leadership Tampa Alumni Parke Wright III Award honoree, gifted a check to Pace Center for Girls, Hillsborough. Pace is dedicated to transforming young women's lives through comprehensive support, including education, counseling, and advocacy. This generous act is part of a long-standing LTA tradition - the gifting of $1,000 to the Parke Wright III Award recipient to donate to a charity or non-profit of their choice. Chief Tripp's selection of PACE highlights her commitment to nurturing the potential of our community's youth.

Happy Independence Day, from the Tampa Bay Chamber and LTA! 🎆 Today, we celebrate the spirit of independence and innovation that drives our nation and business community. Thank you to our members for building a stronger Tampa Bay. Let's keep creating opportunities together! Enjoy a safe and fun holiday! #4thOfJuly #TampaBay #TampaBayChamber

Congratulations to Jeff Chernoff, Leadership Tampa Class of 2016! Jeff was recently promoted to President at Insurance and Trust.

We’re highlighting one of LTA’s Class Champions, Kadian Douglas, CPA, CISA, M.Ed., from LT’23! Professional Snapshot: Operates her own firm, Douglas CPAs & Consultants. Kadian has a rich background spanning almost two decades in the realms of accounting, cybersecurity, and consulting. Volunteer Work: Very involved with the Tampa Bay Chamber as Chair of the Minority Business Accelerator, while also serving on the Ambassador committee and LTA membership committee. Plus, she is involved with the Nonprofit Leadership Center and National Association of Black Accountants. Favorite LT memories: “One of my favorite memories is our overnight stay during the kickoff retreat. We each had to come up with an adjective starting with the first letter of our name to describe ourselves so that it could help us remember each other. It worked really well. Overall, I enjoyed learning and gaining a deeper understanding of the city that I live in.”

LTA Around the Bay! Leadership Tampa Class of 2004 was seen on one of their class member’s yacht, departing from the Tampa Yacht Club for a bay tour in celebration of their 20-year reunion.
