The 21^st Annual Benchmarking Visit

For over 20 years, the Chamber has taken an annual Benchmarking Visit to investigate new programs and initiatives in a city similar to our community. It gives us a chance to study other great cities and adapt best practices to meet the growing needs of Tampa Bay. The 21^st Annual Benchmarking Visit will take us to the Research Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) in North Carolina.
