She previously operated her own government affairs consultancy and served as the University of Florida\u2019s Director of Government Relations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSamantha is the kind of leader we wanted to build our Tampa presence around,\u201d said Floridian Partners Managing Partner Charlie Dudley. \u201cShe has earned the confidence of clients through thoughtful counsel, strong relationships and consistent results. Her leadership gives us an outstanding foundation as we continue growing across Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tampa expansion gives Floridian Partners its third Florida office, joining existing operations in Tallahassee and Miami.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Greer will continue representing clients statewide while overseeing the firm\u2019s work across Florida\u2019s Pre-K-20 education system.

Danny Alvarez.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSuccessful advocates understand that relationships, competence and integrity matter as much as anything else,\u201d the Tampa Republican said. \u201cI have worked with Samantha and know her to be an honest broker with a deep passion for the issues she represents, especially education. She will undoubtedly make an immediate impact in the Tampa Bay region and at Floridian Partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Floridian Partners Senior Partner Jorge Chamizo added, \u201cEducation policy shapes Florida\u2019s workforce, economy and long-term competitiveness.
