The Annual Community Orientation Program Presented by Leadership St. Pete Alumni Association and The St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce

Focus St. Pete is a community orientation program for executives and involved residents, who are eager to establish civic relationships and learn more about the inner workings of their community with a minimum expenditure of time.

The goal is to use our overarching theme “The Economics of St. Pete: An Introduction” to explore how all topics covered relate and are interconnected to the overall economic development/redevelopment and quality of life to St. Petersburg’s diverse city and community.  Throughout your participation, we hope to:

  • Broaden attendee’s working knowledge of the community in a short length of time.
