The CEO Council of Tampa Bay has maintained 150-175 members at any given time. Our companies are representative of the industries of "small business" in Tampa Bay, which makes up 80-90% of all businesses here.

The need for second-stage companies to exchange information is critical to the learning curve of the CEO in charge.  Our goal is to fulfill that need well into the future by providing RELATIONSHIPS, IDEAS and SOLUTIONS.
