North Tampa Chamber of Commerce
Annual Awards

Each year two prestigious awards are presented to selected members in recognition of their meritorious service given both to the north Tampa community and the Chamber: The Phyllis Ellis Memorial "GIVER" Award and The Outstanding Chamber Member Award.

Both awards were conceived and first implemented by Mr. Frank Apisa during his 1997 -1998 term as President of the Chamber.  Recipients are selected by our Awards Committee and are awarded annually at our Installation and Awards Dinner each June.

Phillis EllisThe Phyllis Ellis Memorial "GIVER" Award is our highest award presented to the member whose meritorious service has been given, not only to the Chamber, but also to other community organizations and civic activities within the north Tampa area, demonstrating a commitment to the goals and mission of the North Tampa Chamber of Commerce.

(In 2001, during her second consecutive term as President, Ms. Cynthia Flowers, with the unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, changed the name of the "Giver" Award to The Phyllis Ellis "GIVER" Award in honor of our 2000 - 2001 recipient, Ms. Phyllis Ellis. Shortly before her passing, Phyllis received the Award and was honored for her many years of dedicated service to the North Tampa and Temple Terrace Chambers of Commerce, the Economic Growth Organization, the Carrollwood Area Business Association and the many other organizations and community activities in which she so actively participated. Phyllis, who was suffering from cancer, passed away on July 18, 2001. Since her passing, the word "Memorial" has been added to the award.)
