IT'S ALL ABOUT NAPLES!

I’m delighted to introduce you to the first issue of The Ladies Power Lunch Magazine – Naples Edition.

After publishing more than 500 issues of hyper-local magazines and specialty publications over the past 14 years, it is my sincere hope that this new format for Naples’ Lady Bosses grows to become a source of inspiration, connections and, perhaps, a few pearls of wisdom.

According to US News and World Report, Naples, Florida is ranked as number one in its latest “Best Places to Live” rankings. This is something we’ve known for a long time: The Naples community is vibrant and moving forward with new growth and opportunities for business owners… especially female entrepreneurs.

It is my pleasure to show you a small capsule each month of faces and places that make Naples such a great place to live, work and play!

While our publications typically are 64-100 pages, this jumpstart with TLPL Magazine is designed as an easy read and a taste of things to come. As we grow, we hope that you will grow with us.

Please send your suggestions, comments and feedback directly to me at publisher@theladiespowerlunch.com.

Because if it's important to you, it's important to me: Naples, what a great place to live.work.play!

Sincerely,

Suzy Beth Sarver
