Tampa Bay Chapter History<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1750027886940{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The Tampa Bay Chapter started as an interest group in 2007 by 7 professionals from various industries; Sammecia Bagley, Benjamin James, Chante\u2019 Jones, Max Oligario, Raymond Sweet and Jessica Weston, who saw the need for a meeting place organization for Black MBA\u2019s in the Tampa Bay area. Within several months the membership grew rapidly, which deemed the group to be awarded Interim Chapter status at the 2008 National Conference and Expo in Orlando, Florida. Since then, the chapter has continued to grow membership, create partnerships and strengthen its local presence in the community.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ background_position_desktop=”right top” background_position_tablet=”right bottom” background_style_tablet=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1749783550858{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1748497323952{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1749783083434{padding-top: 6% !important;padding-right: 6% !important;padding-bottom: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;background-color: #FAF1EC !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
