The Tampa Bay Chapter of SMPS is proud of its purpose and accomplishments. We are an aggressive and progressive marketing organization focusing on the needs of today's business owners, business developers, and marketing professionals. SMPS Tampa Bay has a twofold purpose. First, it is a vehicle in which to market our firms, learn about the A/E/C (architectural, engineering and construction) industry through our educational and informative monthly meetings, and to establish relationships with owners, different municipalities and companies within our community. The second part of our Chapter deals with reaching out and helping others. Through volunteering, our Lyle Trease Scholarship Program and charitable contributions, we have made a difference in the lives of those less fortunate while allowing us the opportunity to be able to give back to our community.
