Leadership Tampa Celebrates the Graduation of the Class of 2025
Leadership Tampa, the nation’s third-oldest program of its kind, proudly celebrated the graduation of its 54th class on May 21st at The Straz. With 51 accomplished professionals completing the rigorous nine-month journey, the LT Class of 2025 brings the total number of alumni to over 2,600 strong.
Offered exclusively through the Tampa Bay Chamber, Leadership Tampa convenes a diverse group of mid-to-senior-level leaders each year to explore the critical issues shaping the region. Through immersive sessions, behind-the-scenes tours, and honest dialogue with Tampa Bay’s top decision-makers, participants are empowered to GAIN deeper understanding, GIVE back meaningfully, and GROW as impactful community stewards.
Since 1970, Leadership Tampa has earned a reputation for its candid and comprehensive approach to executive development—one that continues to equip emerging leaders with the insight and connections necessary to meet the evolving challenges of our region.
This year’s graduation ceremony, hosted by the Leadership Tampa Alumni Association, united LT alumni from across generations in celebration of the Class of 2025. Kerry O’Reilly, Chair of the class, reflected on the program as “a highlight of his career,” leaving the group with a powerful piece of advice: “Remember this—you are 100% responsible for maintaining 50% of every relationship.”
As another class joins the ranks of this prestigious network, the legacy of Leadership Tampa grows even stronger—one leader at a time.
