On Tuesday, members of the Tampa Sports Authority voted to select the new Chairman for the upcoming year. Rev. Dr. Thomas Scott was unanimously voted to serve in that capacity. His 1-year term began immediately.

Rev. Dr. Scott had served on the board for three years in the past. Mayor Bob Buckhorn re-appointed him in July 2011 and his term expires in June 2015.

“I am honored to be able to serve in this capacity and I’m looking forward to working with the board,” Rev. Scott said.

Since moving to Tampa, Rev. Dr. Scott has been elected to serve on the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners and on the Tampa City Council. He has been appointed to serve on several other boards in the community.
