Every day presents new challenges but also new opportunities to bridge gaps between business interests and environmental stewardship. When I see local businesses adopting sustainable practices and thriving as a result, or when I witness the growing network of Green Leaders making meaningful changes in their organizations, it reinforces my belief that we’re moving in the right direction. The urgency of climate change combined with the innovative spirit I see in Tampa Bay’s business community keeps me energized. There’s important work to be done, and I’m privileged to be part of a foundation that’s helping to shape a more sustainable future for our region.
