Exceptional Employers of Southwest Florida 2026

Join LARC Inc. on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at The Collaboratory in Fort Myers for the annual Exceptional Employers of Southwest Florida, a celebration of local businesses that open their doors to individuals of all abilities. This intimate gathering brings together community leaders, business professionals, and workforce partners for breakfast, networking, and a panel discussion featuring local employers sharing their experiences about building inclusive workplaces.

Your sponsorship does more than place your name in the room. It supports LARC's workforce development programs, helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities build real skills and find meaningful employment. Because the best workplaces make room for everyone.

We hope you'll consider joining us as a sponsor this year. Supporting the Exceptional Employers of Southwest Florida is a meaningful way to demonstrate your organization's commitment to inclusive hiring and to be recognized among the community leaders who make it possible.

We offer four sponsorship levels to fit a range of budgets and involvement: Presenting Sponsor (an exclusive opportunity at $2,500), Talent Visionary Sponsor ($1,000), Inclusion Advocate Sponsor ($500), and Community Support Sponsor ($250).
