TAMPA, FL – The law firm of Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP is pleased to announce that Erica Shea, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer, has been elected Chair of the University of Tampa Board of Fellows.
The Board of Fellows, established in 1972, sees its mission to serve as “goodwill ambassadors” within the community. Made up of over 150 business leaders and professionals, the Fellows increase the University’s visibility through special events and outreach, and raise funds for scholarships.

As Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer for Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP, Erica serves as a revenue driver, client relations resource, and marketing strategist for the firm. With a 15 year background in sales, building relationships and rapport comes naturally to her as she meets with clients to learn more about the changes they may be facing in their business, introduces new businesses and referral sources to Shumaker attorneys, and meets one-on-one with the attorneys for strategy sessions to talk about future opportunities and how they may be able to serve their existing clients.
In addition to the University of Tampa Board of Fellows, Erica also currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Gracepoint Foundation and the executive cabinet for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women.
