Members of Leadership Tampa are local business people who hold mid- to upper-level management positions within their companies or organizations. Additionally, they have demonstrated concern for community issues and volunteered their time with service organizations, from Boy Scouts and Little League to church activities and professional organizations. The selection process is rigorous and competitive for each of the 50-60 seats. The Leadership Tampa program year begins in September and concludes in May. Members meet every other week for briefings, tours, seminars and hands-on learning. Topics covered include health sciences, education, the environment, redevelopment, tourism and other important community issues. In addition, the class participates in an opening retreat and a trip to Tallahassee during the legislative session. The Leadership Tampa program agendas bring in top-level business, civic and government leaders to address challenges in their fields and answer questions from the class. For those seeking tuition assistance, some scholarship opportunities are available. The Dr. Ike Tribble Minority Scholarship, given to minority applicants who demonstrate a commitment to community involvement, The Parke Wright III Leadership Scholarship, given to candidates who exhibit exemplary leadership abilities and the Leadership Tampa Alumni scholarship, awarded to candidates who work in the non-profit sector and need tuition assistance are all being offered.
