Leadership Collier welcomes Class of 2027
The Leadership Collier Foundation, an affiliate of the Greater Naples Chamber, is excited to announce the Leadership Collier Class of 2027. Community members, Leadership Collier alumni, friends and colleagues are invited to help welcome the new class during a kickoff celebration on Wednesday, Sept. 23. The event begins at 5 p.m. at The Naples Players, 701 Fifth Avenue South.
“I’m thrilled to welcome our Leadership Collier Class of 2027,” said Kristina Park, president and CEO of the Greater Naples Chamber. “Leadership Collier brings together people who care deeply about our community and gives them the opportunity to broaden their understanding of Collier County. Throughout the program, class members build lasting relationships, gain new perspectives and strengthen their ability to make an impact in the community. ”
Established by the Greater Naples Chamber in 1988, Leadership Collier develops informed and engaged community leaders. Each year, approximately 50 professionals are selected to participate in full-day sessions focused on key areas including local government, education, economic development, agriculture, health care, arts and culture, public safety, environmental stewardship and quality of life. Following graduation, alumni are invited to join the LCF Alumni Association and are encouraged to remain active in civic and professional issues and help address challenges facing the community.
Tickets for the Leadership Collier Class of 2027 kick-off celebration are now available and are $35 if purchased before Friday, Sept. 18. Tickets purchased after Sept. 18 are $50 and at the event are $60. The Leadership Collier Class of 2027 kick-off event is sponsored by Tillman Fiber.
