WHAT IS LEADERSHIP TAMPA BAY ABOUT?
The counties around Tampa Bay are inextricably bound by geography and culture. While each municipality in the Tampa Bay region has its own priorities, concerns, challenges and opportunities, local decisions affect the region as a whole-for better or worse.
Transportation, economic growth, education, the environment, water, human services and good government cannot be separated by bridges, bays and political boundaries. We are a region; an important part of Florida whose prosperity and vitality can be best promoted when viewed and guided as a region by enlightened leadership throughout Tampa Bay. That’s what Leadership Tampa Bay is all about.
