Message from Our Founder & CEO | Roberto Borrero Jr.
Dear Community,
I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to connect with you. My journey in Tampa started in 1995, and since then, I've worked hard to support local businesses and strengthen our community. My professional path began in 1997, and through my involvement with different organizations and regional chambers, I’ve learned the power of working together.
In the early days of the Tampa Business Club, I felt a deep desire to create a space for our Latino community. This vision led to the founding of the Tampa Bay Latin Chamber of Commerce, where our goal is to build a network focused on unity, collaboration, and growth.
Our mission is simple: we want to support Latino initiatives by partnering with other organizations, helping them grow, and celebrating their contributions. We encourage collaboration rather than competition, knowing that working together can create more opportunities for everyone.
We can achieve great things by supporting each other and inspiring the next generation to continue this work. I'm excited about what lies ahead and can't wait to see our community grow and thrive. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
With appreciation and dedication,
Roberto Borrero Jr.
CEO, Tampa Bay Latin Chamber of Commerce
