TAMPA – Mayor Jane Castor, the 59th mayor of the City of Tampa, will give a talk as part of the Sykes College of Business’s Leadership Speaker Series on Wednesday, Oct. 7, from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

Since starting in this role, Castor has passed Tampa’s largest water and wastewater infrastructure plan and launched her Transforming Tomorrow Advisory Teams, which focus on issues happening in the city and work to find solutions to improve the quality of life for the Tampa community.
