When I first stepped into this role, I was met with a learning curve—one that demanded not only my dedication but also my ability to listen, adapt, and lead with a clear vision. Transitions, whether personal or professional, come with challenges, but they also come with opportunities to build stronger connections and move forward with greater purpose.

I’m deeply grateful for the collaboration and dedicated support of our city council and the incredible staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that Naples remains a beautiful, thriving community. Their enthusiasm and commitment to serving this city inspire me every day.

As we continue to navigate changes and transitions in Naples, I encourage all of us to remain patient and committed to our shared goals. With a collective spirit and a focus on progress, we will continue to shape a bright future for this wonderful city.

I am deeply grateful to all our residents, whether you serve on a board, attend city council meetings, reach out to City Hall with a concern, volunteer in our community, lead an HOA, or support our local businesses. Your active participation and commitment to preserving our shared values are what make Naples such a vibrant and thriving community

Many Blessings,

Teresa Heitmann

City of Naples Mayor
