Big shoutout to Kathleen Nestor of the Tampa Bay Defense Alliance and Katie Lopez from the Tampa Bay Chamber for their awesome work supporting our military families in Tampa! Nestor is tackling housing challenges, while Lopez is leading projects like the ferry route to cut down commute times and securing local farm donations for Blue Star Families' food events. Their teamwork is a perfect example of how connecting different organizations can make a huge difference for MacDill AFB and our military community. Keep up the good work!

The Tampa Bay Defense Alliance is pleased to announce the continuation of the National Security Institute at Berkeley Preparatory School for the 2024-2025 school year. TBDA has been a vital supporter of the institute, offering students unique opportunities to engage with speakers and visit key sites such as the FBI Office and MacDill Air Force Base. These experiences have empowered students to develop their own Capstone projects. We are proud to provide students a hands-on experience in the national security field. #BerkeleyPrep #TampaBayDefenseAlliance #MacDillAFB #FBI
