Meet the Minds: Former Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn – “Experiences of an Executive Mayor”
From April of 2011 to May of 2019 Bob Buckhorn served as the mayor of Tampa, Florida – a city that has been recognized as the best city in the southeast (Money Magazine), one of the hottest cities for startups (Fortune), one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country (U.S. Census), and a top 50 city for business (Inc.). From its vibrant and rapidly expanding urban core, to the unending charm of its diverse neighborhoods, Tampa’s time has come.
After a long history of service to the City of Tampa, Bob Buckhorn was elected as the 58th mayor of Tampa, where he led over 4,300 dedicated, hard-working, and forward-thinking civil servants. Unlike many cities, the Mayor of Tampa serves as the de facto CEO in a strong Mayor form of government. He/She does not sit as a member of the City Council nor is there a city manager.
