Can you believe today is the last day of February?

With the beginning of March tomorrow, we can’t thank you enough for your kind tweets, posts and messages you’ve shared with us through our website, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook pages.

As you know, our goal is to provide you with the most pertinent news, information, and updates about Elevate using our motto Learn, Connect, Grow.

In today’s 3rd eNewsletter, we wanted to continue our tradition of giving you a brief glance on how Elevate has implemented our motto thus far.

LEARN:

Our Founder & President Aakash M. Patel was recently asked by the Tampa Economic Development Corporation to participate in Young Professionals in Tampa. The video profiles young executives in Tampa Bay who enjoy living in this great, vibrant community. It was shown at the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce Annual meeting and can currently be seen on City of Tampa Television, channel 15 on Verizon FIOS system, & channel 615 on Bright House networks.

Watch the video here and learn more from our blog.

CONNECT:

At Elevate, we not only want to CONNECT our community to Elevate, we also want to CONNECT you to our clients. This month, we would like to highlight PROSHRED. PROSHRED is a service-driven document destruction company dedicated to on-site paper shredding. PROSHRED President Mark MacMillan has over 23 years of experience in the shredding industry. Since bringing his business to Tampa Bay 6 years ago, his customer base has grown, organically, from 0 to more than 2000 offices throughout the region! His experience and business acumen has allowed him to find, train and motivate the best talent in the city if not the country, in his industry. This allows PROSHRED to offer a level of security and service, second to none. You are probably thinking that lots of companies say this, but this is proven by the stacks (literally read by Elevate) of client testimonials from customers such as Fortune 100 companies, to several locally owned and operated businesses. For more about this cool company, LIKE the PROSHRED Facebook page here, or go to their main site here.

GROW:

Each month, we would like to highlight a unique event making a difference in Tampa Bay. As you know, the Republican National Convention is coming to Tampa Bay this summer. The direct economic impact on our region is projected to be over $150 million dollars, with 45,000 visitors from around the world in town that week. At Elevate, we want to make sure our friends with small businesses GROW during this unique opportunity. After all, the entire world will be watching! We’ve partnered with the INDO-US Chamber of Commerce to host a FREE networking event where you can learn how to get involved in the RNC and GROW!  The event will take place on March 21 at 6:30 PM, and includes free dinner.

We look forward to staying connected with you.
