Leadership Tampa Alumni honors Mike Griffin

Michael “Mike” E. Griffin received the 2022 Parke Wright III Award from Leadership Tampa Alumni.

The Class of 2004 Leadership Tampa Alumnus currently serves as the market leader and senior vice president of Savills, a worldwide provider of integrated real estate services.

“I’m so thankful, grateful and humbled,” said Griffin in a video message he sent in from Morocco. The award ceremony, in West Tampa, coincided with his first day of meetings overseas. “I desperately wish I was there today to not only celebrate this award with all of you but also what this represents and all the exciting things happening in our community,” said Griffin.

Griffin became the youngest chairman of the Tampa Bay Chamber, in its history, in 2017.
