Claire Bisignano Chesnoff’s journey to Florida has been deeply influenced by her personal experiences. Her frequent childhood visits to Naples eventually led her to establish her permanent residence here in 2021. Through her role as caretaker for her father, she gained invaluable insights into the challenges of caring for a loved one with a debilitating disease. This experience ignited her passion for philanthropy, leading her to become deeply involved with the Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida, where she has been an active member of the Development Committee.  Claire brings a wealth of expertise to her new role.
