Partnership in Practice
Advocacy
The Tampa Bay Partnership advocates for member-driven public policy positions at the local, state, and federal levels on transportation, education, workforce issues and other emerging issues.
Our relationships with local, state and federal elected officials are an important and effective tool and this is buoyed by our reputation for providing objective, nonpartisan thought-leadership on our priority issues.
Our investors are educated and empowered to champion these issues and make the case for their importance through our state and federal delegation meetings, annual legislative leadership trips, and other opportunities to interact and engage with Tampa Bay’s most powerful policymakers.
