Leadership Collier 2023 Class Participants

Leadership Collier has selected their 2023 class participants!

The Leadership Collier Foundation (LCF), of the Greater Naples Chamber, announces the Leadership Collier Class of 2023. The class will begin their program with a kick-off celebration on Thursday, Sept. 15 at The Naples Players.

Leadership Collier was formed by the Naples Chamber in 1988 to develop a network of informed citizens prepared to assume leadership roles in our community. The Chamber believes knowledge is a key element and prime motivator of leadership. Consequently, the primary objective of Leadership Collier is to educate local business leaders about the societal and economic challenges facing the community today.

The nine-month program includes 11 full-day sessions. Over the course of ten sessions, participants will fully explore local government, education, economic development, agriculture, arts, and more.

The LCF Board of Directors congratulates the following class members of Leadership Collier 2023:
