JA BUSINESS HALL OF FAME, COLLIER COUNTY

JA honors Hall of Fame Laureates for their leadership and success in business, and community involvement.

Each year, Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida honors forward-thinking entrepreneurs and accomplished community leaders for their contributions to the region's economic development and their service as role models for ethical and moral conduct among youth and business peers. These Laureates become part of JA's Business Hall of Fame. This prestigious Collier County event has grown since it was established in 1988, to include many of Southwest Florida's most prominent leaders.

During the dinner and awards ceremony, Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida will induct Edward Staros, vice president and managing director of The Ritz-Carlton Resorts of Naples, and Mark Wilson, president, and CEO of London Bay Homes, into the 2017 Business of Hall of Fame, Collier County.
