Introducing Our Summer Interns

As we gear up for the summer season, we’re thrilled to introduce our latest cohort of talented interns at Naples Airport Authority. These bright minds bring a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to our team, and we’re excited to see the contributions they’ll make during their time with us.

Please join us in welcoming Ryan Marsh and Saffron Buxton to the NAA team! We’re confident that their energy and insights will have a great impact on our work and community.
