Please introduce yourself. “Who is Yvette Segura?”

Please briefly share USAA’s stance on DE&I. As Chair, why is DE&I important to the Tampa Bay Chamber? Why do you support the Chamber’s Minority Business Accelerator?

The Chamber can’t do this alone and needs the help and support of its members to continue the success of this program. Everyone has a role to play in using their networks, reaching out to suppliers and others in referring companies to the program.

Volunteering is another great way to get involved, share knowledge and experience from a variety of vantage points. It’s also a wonderful way to connect and learn from others while strengthening the bonds of our community.

The MBA program started with just a few companies and continues to grow. It is a great opportunity to build momentum and extend its reach – but we have a long way to go. I look forward to supporting this program for many years to come.
