TAMPA — Two well-known Tampa Bay entrepreneurs have spearheaded the formation of a local chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, a group designed to allow members to draw on the collective resources and expertise of kindred spirits in the business world.

Along with other players in the local business community, Kevin Harrington, CEO of Reliant International Media LLC, and Greg Stemm, co-founder of Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc. (Nasdaq: OMEX), have started to actively recruit for the organization and say they plan to have the chapter up and running by the summer.

Roughly 75 people attended an invitation-only party to promote the launch of the chapter at Harrington’s spacious waterfront estate in St. Petersburg on April 10. Local celebrity boxer Ronald “Winky” Wright, who owns independent record label Pound 4 Pound Records Inc. and is involved with other Bay area entrepreneurial ventures, put in an appearance along with some other heavyweights in the local business community.

Since the launch, there have been preliminary talks about appointing a president and board of directors for the chapter. Once 20 people join the organization, it would have the critical mass needed to get off the ground, Harrington said.
