2015newnapleslogoNAPLES, FL – The Naples Area Professional League of Executive Services, a business-to-business  networking organization, announces details of the organization’s annual “Big Event” scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at Shula’s Steak House in the Hilton Naples.

The event is open to the public and will begin with a cocktail reception followed by a three-course meal with guest speaker, Rick Severance, president of Babcock Ranch.  Babcock Ranch is the first totally solar-powered town — in the WORLD — located here in Florida.

Located in southwest Florida, just 20-minutes northeast of Ft. Myers, Babcock Ranch features a wide spectrum of residential housing options and commercial opportunities. Community infrastructure and both residential and commercial buildings feature environmentally friendly designs and technology. Additionally, an on-site 75 mw photovoltaic solar power plant and smart-grid technology ensures Babcock Ranch generates more clean and renewable energy than it consumes.

“Our annual Big Event is a time when members look forward to showcasing our group we all care  so much about to the greater Southwest Florida community,” said Nicole Ryan, president of N.A.P.L.E.S. “It is a night to be inspired by a speaker with a groundbreaking business story; we can’t think of anyone better to inspire us than internationally renowned local entrepreneur.”

The Big Event is sponsored by Jeff Jerome with Shula’s Steak House Naples, Naples Florida Weekly, Patrick Dearborn Team by John R Wood Properties, Naples Flowers, American Eagle Mortgage Company, Naples Print Source, Mutual of Omaha Bank, Naples Princess and Happy Wallet Auto Repair.

The N.A.P.L.E.S. organization is based in Southwest Florida, but many members are internationally recognized business leaders and experts within their fields of expertise. In addition to the annual community Big Event, members meet on the first and third Thursday each month for breakfast networking sessions which include guest speakers and time for alerting each other to business opportunities.

Tickets and information are available for the October 4th N.A.P.L.E.S. Big Event at www.NaplesGroup.com.
