“I was new to Springfield, and through Leadership Springfield I learned so much about Springfield and the opportunities the community has to offer. I am now involved with the Springfield Public Schools Foundation and its Back to School campaign. I also serve on the board of directors for the Girl Scouts of Dogwood Trails Council. The contacts and friends I made through Leadership Springfield have made it easier for me to get involved in the community.”

 

-Scott Crise, senior engineer, Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., Class XVI

“The Leadership Springfield Retreat was a great experience, we kicked off our milestone “anniversary year” with a well organized, engaging and very informative event. The class was able to get to know each other and learn leadership styles and skills in both a fun and professional atmosphere.   I am looking forward to the program days and the opportunities Leadership Springfield provides in the months to come. “
