“For me, all that I learned during the GNL Masters Program was invaluable.  I was “new in town” and new to the Community Foundation.  By being involved in GNL during my first year in Naples, I learned firsthand – and quickly – about the social, political, and economic landscape.  I gained insight into the history of our community and had multiple opportunities to talk with leaders of all sorts. Without access to GNL’s resources, all of this might have taken years for me to learn.  The opportunity for networking with my classmates and others has enhanced my life as a resident of Collier County and as President/CEO Community Foundation of Collier County.  I highly recommend this program!”  Eileen Connelly-Kessler, President/CEO, Community Foundation of Collier County
