LEADERSHIP WITH IMPACT
In The Tampa Connection, we strive to not only build great, long lasting relationships but also provide our members opportunities to sustain the relationship for years to come. Many of our members not only do business together, but become life long friends.
What is Tampa Connection?
We are a volunteer-run nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide local business professionals with the necessary tools to become active leaders and volunteers in the Tampa Bay Community. Each year, a select group of applicants are chosen to participate in the Tampa Connection “class.” The year-long program exposes class members to leadership development, social, and community service opportunities while immersing them in the local community. At the core of Tampa Connection’s mission and the class experience are three foundational principles: leadership, relationships, and community.
Leadership
Tampa Connection recognizes that the nonprofit sector is key to building a strong community with a great quality of life. In order for this to happen, the community needs committed and engaged leaders. Tampa Connection will help you realize your leadership potential.
Relationships
Tampa Connection strives to help class members build long lasting relationships and sustain them for years to come. Many of our alumni not only do business together, but are life-long friends.
Community
Tampa Connection provides local professionals with a unique opportunity to get involved with their community. Over the last 35 years, class members have completed over 135 projects for nonprofit organizations throughout the Tampa Bay region.
