Featured Speaker
Tracy Freedman, APR+M
Chair, Tampa Military Spouse Economic Empowerment Zone
Lead Associate | Military and Veteran Affairs
On March 12, 2018, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes, in collaboration with USAA and the Greater Tampa and South Tampa Chambers of Commerce, announced Tampa as the nation’s newest Military Spouse Economic Empowerment Zone (MSEEZ). A collaborative effort among the local business, civic, and military communities to address the economic impact of military spouse unemployment and underemployment on 21st-century military families, MSEEZ establish geographically-focused employment networks to connect military spouses to local career opportunities.
The launch of the Tampa MSEEZ comes on the heels of the designation of both the Greater Tampa and South Tampa Chambers as three-star Chambers of Valor. The three-star Chamber of Valor award is Hiring Our Heroes’ highest honor for local and state chambers; it recognizes their demonstrated leadership in connecting companies with talented veteran and military spouse candidates
