Dave Bailey Recognized as One of Tampa Bay’s Top Business Leaders

For the 41 st year of this event, there were more nominations than ever before, with over 400 business leaders in Tampa Bay’s multi-county geography being considered. The Greater Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce recognizes business leaders who are top performers as voted on by a panel of judges consisting of executives, community leaders, and chamber chairs. In order to become a finalist, there is a rigorous filtering process of nomination, initial application, interview panel, and final group judging.   David Bailey, President of Southern States TOYOTALift, was chosen as one of only four finalists out of the hundreds of respected and accomplished applicants.    “While I am truly humbled to be recognized amongst my peers, I really am honored to be a part of such an incredible team of people and organization like Toyota Material Handling. I firmly believe that successful leadership starts first with hiring the right group of leaders around you, and we have accomplished just that. World-class leaders, serving world-class associates, to bring world-class solutions to our customers.”
