January 2020 Tallahassee, Florida

 

In January 2020 I traveled a lot closer to home going to Tallahassee, Florida with other members of the Leadership Tampa Bay Class of 2020.  For more than 30 years, Leadership Tampa Bay has promoted the prosperity and vitality of the Tampa Bay region, enlightening leaders to the importance of the area as a whole in the state of Florida. The mission of LTB Tampa Bay is to engage members with businesses and community leaders to enhance knowledge of regional assets and issues. The program is designed not only to identify regional strengths and build on them, but to delve into issues facing the region and explore ways to bridge differences.  For this trip, we attended meetings of the Florida House and Senate as well as briefings with a Florida Supreme Court Justice and other dignitaries affiliated with the political scene in Florida. We also had opportunities to dine at the University Center Club at the Doak Campbell Stadium at The Governor’s Club.
