About

Since the mid 1990s, the mission of Greater Naples Leadership has been to provide proven leaders with a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about the issues and needs in Collier County and to encourage the use of their skills individually and collectively in bettering the community. Greater Naples Leadership, Inc., was formed as a nonprofit in 1999 through the hard work and vision of several alumni who also established the organization's mission. As GNL has developed over the years, its original mission has remained constant. Class sizes for our Masters Program have grown, the recruitment process has been refined, alumni programs have been enhanced, and community service is encouraged and pursued more aggressively. The program has been a great success. Membership is a sought-after experience for many new residents as a way to quickly educate themselves with the facts and circumstances of life in Collier County. Our members have a 'give back' mentality, and GNL is a springboard for them to engage in nonprofit and civic opportunities after the completion of the program.
