Being a member of Tampa Bay & Company has been a great partnership for our company. We get involved in as many networking events to make new business contacts. You never know who you might meet and connect with. We enjoy helping to promote our city and in return we get exposure for our family's cigar products and the history of our background with Tampa and Ybor City. It's a pleasure to work with such a driven and well-organized wonderful team of people at Tampa Bay & Company.

Kerrick and I would like to take a second to share with your organization the appreciation that we have for the partnership program. After moving back to Tampa from Atlanta, Kerrick Williams Photography re-joined your organization in March of 2008. Our ROI was realized three fold within three months and has turned out to be one of the best financial business collaboration decisions that we could have made for our company.

The event coordinator contact information, notification of the upcoming conventions and other events to this area is truly invaluable. Additionally, through the partner networking events, we have made several very useful business connections as well as obtained a few local contracts.

In the spirit of sharing success through Tampa Bay & Company, we are obligated to let you all know that we are truly grateful for your professionalism, personal service and dedication to our specialized needs. We are proud members and plan to continue to renew our membership with Tampa Bay & Company well into the future.

Sincerely,

TJ Williams
