Head & Heart Luncheon
What Is the Head & Heart Luncheon?
The Head & Heart Luncheon is Frameworks of Tampa Bay’s signature annual gathering for Tampa Bay’s business and community leaders. It’s an afternoon of powerful conversation, genuine connection, and shared commitment to the community we call home.
Each year, we bring together a nationally recognized guest speaker whose ideas challenge the way we think about leadership, success, and the human skills that drive both. Past speakers have included Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks, who has graced our stage three times, as well as other thought leaders whose insights have left a lasting impression on everyone in the room.
What to Expect
Get ready for an afternoon that changes how you think and reminds you why investing in Tampa Bay’s children is the most important work any of us can do.
- A nationally recognized keynote speaker whose ideas will stay with you long after you leave
- Special appearances by students and teachers overcoming adversity and making a huge difference in Tampa Bay
- Meaningful networking with Tampa Bay’s most engaged business and community leaders

The Organization Behind the Event
The Head & Heart Luncheon benefits Frameworks of Tampa Bay, the only nonprofit in our community dedicated entirely to building emotional intelligence in every child, from preschool through high school graduation.
Emotional intelligence is the most important predictor of a child’s future success. At Frameworks, we believe the strongest investment any business leader can make in Tampa Bay’s future is in the children who will lead it. For every dollar invested in emotional intelligence programming, our community sees an $11 economic return.
When you join us at the Head & Heart Luncheon, you’re helping ensure every child in Tampa Bay has the knowledge and know-how to become the kind, collaborative, and capable citizens — and future colleagues — our community needs.
