Welcome To The Home Page Of The NDIA Tampa Bay Chapter

The Tampa Bay Chapter promotes a responsive government and industry national security team through productive interactions with MacDill Air Force Base, US Central Command, US Special Operations Command and other Defense activities in the Tampa Bay region. Regular seminars with DoD leadership, training sessions, industry surveys and consistent advertising of local DoD related events provide terrific dialogue and progress toward building more effective exchange of information between industry and government on national security issues and solutions.

Chapter Announcements

​​​

New Chapter Officers:

 

Tampa Bay NDIA Members,

 

Thank you for electing me as your next Chapter President! 

 

I look forward to serving our members and the Tampa Bay Defense community. In addition, we are delighted to announce our other new leaders who will be serving the Chapter. Carl Chaisson is now Vice President and Kyle Simpson, 2nd Vice President. At the conclusion of our election, the Board of Directors decided since I was elected to President and the Vice Presidency was vacant, that would allow both Carl and Kyle to serve and support the Chapter. Carl and Kyle will join our Secretary, Isabelle Wakeman and Treasurer, Ivan Quinn as Chapter Officers and POCs for you to reach out to.  We also thank our outgoing President, Rick Gearing for his service.  Rick will continue to serve our Chapter with our other retired Presidents Mike Cummins & Jeff Zak on our Board. 

 

The new Chapter Leaders are excited to listen to your ideas, concerns and implement improvements that will benefit our members!

 

V/R

 

Michele Evanson

President, Tampa NDIA
