Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Trade & Protocol Council on their receipt of the 2015 IIE Generation Study Abroad Award. The Tampa Bay Trade & Protocol Council is an international organization that promotes the Tampa Bay region internationally for trade and protocol, connects companies and institutions with international opportunities, and educates the public on topics related to the international economy. 

The work of the Tampa Bay Trade and Protocol Council serves as a model for cross-sectoral partnerships and cross-border collaboration. Their recent work with the City of South Dublin, Ireland, and local universities, who are Generation Study Abroad Partners, is a great example of how they are integrating study abroad into their work.
