This morning, we brought together business and education leaders for our Executive Breakfast, an inspiring look at what’s possible when our community comes together to support public education.

Guests heard from Superintendent Van Ayres, CEOs in Schools creator and Vistra Communications President & CEO Brian Butler, and one of our CEO-principal pairs, Creative Contractors Inc CEO Joshua Bomstein and Foster Elementary Principal Dr. Gloria Waite, among others.

A special thank-you to our sponsor, Suncoast Credit Union, for helping make this conversation possible!

CEOs in Schools pairs nearly 150 Tampa Bay-area business leaders with principals at Hillsborough County Public Schools elementary schools. Through the experience, CEOs see, hear and do what educators and students experience every day and gain a new perspective on how schools prepare students for success.

Meet Brayan, a Take Stock in Children of Hillsborough County alum and Valedictorian of Strawberry Crest High School’s Class of 2026! 🎓

As his family faced financial and medical hardships, Brayan’s mentor was there to provide encouragement, stability, and the motivation to keep moving forward.

His story is a powerful reminder of what a caring adult can mean in a student’s life. You can make that difference, too.
