In February, Jason Carroll, CMP returned to Tampa to lead the not-for-profit Friends of the Riverwalk organization as its first dedicated Executive Director. And he returned to FSAE!
Prior to this position, Jason served as a Regional Account Executive with Visit Tampa Bay, where he traveled extensively to promote the area as a tourism destination. However, Jason's tenure at FSAE was with The Florida Aquarium, where he rose in the ranks from an Events Coordinator to Sales Manager to Director of Sales and Events.
Friends of the Riverwalk's mission is to enhance the quality of life and build a stronger sense of community in Tampa by preserving the waterfront for use by our citizens and visitors. Since 2013, Friends of the Riverwalk has shared an executive director with Tampa’s Downtown Partnership. However, the popularity and growth of Tampa’s Riverwalk, combined with the revitalization of Tampa’s downtown, now requires each organization to have a dedicated full-time employee.
Congratulations Jason!
