The Tampa Bay Partnership’s advocacy efforts are an important and effective tool in developing public policy solutions to address our most pressing economic challenges. By providing a unified vision and voice for the region, and actively engaging with our local, state and federal elected officials, our leaders serve as a powerful force behind policy decisions at home, in Tallahassee, and in Washington, D.C.

Our annual policy agenda provides a roadmap for the legislative actions needed to advance our regional priorities.

Our investors are educated and empowered to champion this agenda and make the case for its importance through our state and federal delegation meetings, annual lobbying trips to Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., and ongoing activities designed to provide thought leadership, leverage influence and hold our elected officials accountable for the positions they take on our issues.
