Program Chair, Andrew Smith
“If one was to look at the very definition of EMERGE there are a few different contexts. For the situation at hand, to come into being through evolution (Webster’s) illustrates how the program’s operations structure has emerged through our dedication to continuous process improvement. With the addition of the truly amazing young professionals that have risen to the challenge of keeping EMERGE one of the leading young professionals’ programs in Florida they are now charged with the responsibility of fostering an environment for their piers to EMERGE or become known (Webster’s). Our team will fulfill this responsibility through programming excellence, dedication, and commitment in working towards making Tampa one of the greatest places in the world for young professionals to EMERGE. 2012 is going to be an amazing year and it will be my privilege to work with everyone on the leadership team and committees.”
