BBYO announces Naples Leadership Hall of Fame honorees

What a year it has been, Naples.

The pandemic certainly threw us off, but it could not and did not stop us from creating engaging virtual and in-person programming.

As we are in May, things at BBYO Naples are most definitely calming down. We are very excited to welcome teens back to our domestic summer programs, like Camp BBYO for 8th graders, CLTC (Chapter Leadership Training Camp) for current 9th and 10th graders, and ILTC (International Leadership Training Camp) for current 10th and 11th graders.

With the release of our safety protocols for the summer, we have opened more space at camp than ever before. If you are still considering attending a summer program, it is not too late to register. Visit bbyo.org/summer to learn more.

Naples Leadership Hall of Fame

As this year is coming to a close, we are thrilled to release our newest additions to the Naples Leadership Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is something Naples BBYO started seven years ago. Each year, one recently graduated Aleph and BBG, as well as one alumnus of the greater BBYO community who has positively impacted Naples BBYO, are honored with this award.

The criteria for our teenagers is that, while in BBYO, they dedicate much of their time to the growth and prosperity of our BBYO community. These teens were, and are, dedicated leaders and powerful community members.

The criterion for our alumni of the greater BBYO community is that they are: 1. An alumnus of BBYO; and 2. They care deeply for Naples BBYO in the way of dedicating time and resources to the success of our chapters.

I have the honor of announcing both our 2019-20 awardees as well as our 2020-21 awardees as follows:
