Employment lawyer to chair chamber

TAMPA — The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce appointed Steven Bernstein, a partner in Tampa employment law firm Fisher Phillips, as chairman of the organization for a one-year term.

According to a press release, Bernstein represents employers throughout the United States in both state and federal courts.

“Steve has a diverse and successful track record of leading several areas of our organization over the last decade,” states Chamber President and CEO Bob Rohrlack in the release. “Couple that with his commitment to the Tampa business community at large, and I can't think of a better chairman to lead us.”

In the release, Bernstein says he has been involved with the chamber for many years and hopes to “fulfill the chamber's vision to remain a vibrant business hub for the community and be a catalyst for positive change on behalf of our members. As we move forward with these ideals, we will be steadfast in our goal to always be inclusive and to be a strong advocate for businesses in the Greater Tampa Bay region.”
