FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAMPA, FLORIDA, Tuesday, January 19, 2010- Attorney Alicia M. Phidd co-hosted a private reception honoring the sponsors of TOBA’s 30th Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Breakfast at the Hyatt Sunday, January 17, 2010. Ms. Phidd expressed to those in attendance how thrilled and honored she was to have been personally asked by Co-Founder Attorney Stewart and Chair person Attorney Person to host the event. “…30 years ago when the founders launched this event, I was merely a child in Jamaica, West Indies.” Ms. Phidd beamed from the podium. “To see myself now an American citizen and being a part of such a historic event means the world to me.” She continued.

Tampa Organization of Black Affairs, known as TOBA host a leadership breakfast every year on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. The event boasted politicians, educators, activist groups, local government and various corporate entities. There is a youth oratorical competition held months prior to the event and the runner up was featured at the Sponsor’s reception. The winner, who featured at the breakfast this year, was born to Haitian immigrants.

TOBA’s mission to continue to advance the minority community and reach a cross section of Tampa Bay was certainly magnified at the reception and at the breakfast. This event marked the beginning of a great year on the circuit for Ms. Phidd and what better way to start it than with colleagues and a good cause.
