PRESENTS

Commerce Lexington’s 2022 Leadership Visit presented by Central Bank & Trust Co. will take Central Kentucky leaders to the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida region, May 11 – 13. The delegation will depart Lexington via charter air on Wednesday morning, May 11. We’ll spend opening day in Tampa before we travel to St. Petersburg to get a solid understanding of these two communities. Each have unique identities but together they’re known for a resurgent economy, a supportive business environment, a highly diverse talent pool, low cost of living and high quality of life.  The group will return to Lexington by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 13.

Commerce Lexington’s 2022 Board Chair John Gohmann, Regional President of PNC Bank, said, “Tampa Bay’s regional economy has several similarities to Central Kentucky and some key programs and initiatives that we can examine and compare ideas. I hope you’ll consider joining our delegation for this important community and region-building intercity visit.”

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Full registration includes charter air travel, meals as outlined in the agenda, and two nights’ accommodations at the Don CeSar Hotel in St. Pete Beach (3400 Gulf Boulevard, www.doncesar.com), the crown jewel of Florida's Gulf Coast.
