Collier County Government and Greater Naples Chamber partnered together and chose Regions Bank as the November 2023 Business of the Month. An award was presented to Regions Bank at the Collier County Board of County Commissioners meeting on November 15, 2023.

Each month, the award is presented to an organization that has enhanced the community through financial, volunteer, and active involvement in organizations and programs that assist in creating a better quality of life for all citizens in Collier County. The company chosen will also be featured at the following Wake Up Naples/Chamber Conversation event.

The Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Bethany Sawyer, VP of membership and investors at Greater Naples Chamber, presented Eric Trevino, Branch Manager, Alon Naftali, Commercial Banking, Cynthia Valenti Smith, Mortgage Production Manager, and Lisa Shuryn, SBA Commercial from Regions Bank with a commemorative plaque at the July 2023 County Commission meeting.
