— Liz Smith, CEO, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC – 2010 Forum Speaker


"I greatly enjoyed my experience with the Fellows Forum, which was well designed for the discussion of the issues facing our economy. Tampa is an important city in the Southeast, and I welcomed the opportunity to address the business leaders in the Tampa Bay area."

— Dennis Lockhart, President & CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta – 2009 Forum Speaker


“The Fellows Forum was a unique event presenting the opportunity to speak to over 800 of the Tampa Bay area’s business leaders. Sharing the stage with two other CEO’s with a national footprint created a platform to discuss current, relevant business issues that are challenging us all each day. The openness and responsiveness of the audience was exceptional. The University of Tampa has a well established program that allows a CEO to showcase their business but also to connect with business leaders in a very personal way. It was an outstanding experience.”

— Peter Beck, Managing Director, The BECK Group – 2008 Forum Speaker
