The H.L. Culbreath Jr. Profile in Leadership Award was created in 1997 to annually recognize an individual whose leadership has made a positive impact on the Tampa Bay area. Named in honor of its first recipient, a man whose civic philanthropy and long service personified leadership, the award has quickly become the area’s most prestigious honor.
This award, established by Leadership Tampa Alumni, will be presented at the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Annual Meeting.
