In 2019, the Tampa Bay Chamber announced at the Annual Meeting that it would be rolling out a new program for college students in the area that will follow the Leadership Tampa experience and provide them with connections and insight into our Tampa Bay community that will help to keep them here in our region long-term.

The Collegiate Leadership program was opened to students at Saint Leo University, The University of South Florida, and The University of Tampa. Information sessions were held at each of the participating universities and qualified students were also interviewed by Tampa Bay Chamber volunteers. After months of planning we are proud to announce that we have officially accepted 24 local college students into the leadership program.

Co-presenting sponsors for the program are: The Bellini Foundation and The Riley Education Foundation.
