Introducing The New Tampa Chamber Board Of Directors & Staff!
New Tampa Chamber president Regina Ramalheira wants to introduce the New Tampa community to the people who donate their time and energy to help make the Chamber an important contributor to life in our area. To that end, we are going to run a short bio of the Chamber’s seven current Board members — and of executive assistant Jayne Baker — one or two at at time in each upcoming issue of the Chamber newsletter that appears in each issue of New Tampa Neighborhood News. In addition, all eight profiles will be posted on the Chamber’s website — NewTampaChamber.org — by the time this issue reaches your mailbox. We don’t have room for all nine bios in this space, but rest assured, all eight will run over the new two or three issues.
Please visit NewTampaChamber.org or call the Chamber’s executive assistant Jayne Baker at 293-2464 or 2012-13 president Regina Ramalheira at 245-8893 for more information about the Chamber.
