Attorneys in the Naples office of Quarles & Brady LLP, Tina M. Eckert and Alicia L. Taylor, have recently graduated from the Growing Associates in Naples (GAIN) Class of 2014.
T. Robert Bulloch, Managing Partner of Quarles & Brady’s Naples office said, “We are pleased to participate in this extremely valuable leadership program and are even more proud to have two of our attorneys in this year’s graduating class.”
GAIN is a program of the nonprofit Leadership Collier Foundation under the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce. It is chiefly designed for professionals and emerging young leaders in Collier County.
