Tampa, Fla. – As graduation season unfolds and new journeys begin on college campuses everywhere, the Tampa Bay Chamber is pleased to announce the Collegiate Leadership Class of 2026. The 2026 cohort is comprised of 31 student leaders, proudly representing Saint Leo University, the University of Tampa, and the University of South Florida.
Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay is modeled after the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Leadership Tampa program and provides participants with behind-the-scenes access to Tampa businesses and organizations, as well as the opportunity to connect with community leaders. The students are also paired with a mentor from the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Emerging Leaders program to help guide them as they transition from college to career. The results yield future leaders committed to community engagement across the private, public, and philanthropic sectors in the Tampa Bay region.
Collegiate Leadership is generously sponsored by the Bellini Foundation and Riley Education Foundation. Tuition is covered by each university, allowing the students to participate at no cost.
The Collegiate Leadership 2026 class will be led by Chair, Antoine Richards, I-DIEM, and Vice Chair, Amanda Uliano, Law Office of Amanda M. Uliano, P.A. For more information regarding Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay or the Chamber’s other leadership programs, please visit our website.
