Note from the publisher: Big news from TBBW!

| Jo-Lynn Brown

We had some pretty big news come our way this morning and what a way to head into the weekend!

We are thrilled to announce that “On behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we are excited to inform you that the Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce has recommended Tampa Bay Business & Wealth for our annual Dream Big Awards program! The Tampa Bay Chamber has relayed to us that your small business has made significant contributions to the growth and diversity of the U.S economy and would be a great applicant for the U.S. Chamber’s annual small business awards program. We rely on our network of local chambers of commerce to recommend the very best businesses in their communities.”

Thank you to the Tampa Bay Chamber for the nomination and we are so excited to begin the application process.

As many of you know, TBBW was the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Small Business of the Year winner in the startup category in 2021. While the process was a lot of work, we valued the experience which helped us grow as a business and as a team.

We highly recommend you take advantage of the opportunity if you get to.

Now, here we go again! Stay tuned, we will keep you posted!

With love and gratitude,

Bridgette Bello

CEO and Publisher
