“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

* In the early years, Leadership Springfield had two boards of directors. One board handled operations while the Alumni Association Board of Directors, started by Class III and comprised of graduates, worked to get graduates involved in the community and to enhance the program. The alumni association also started the Leadership Academy. As more graduates began to serve on both boards, the purpose of the two boards became similar. In 1994, the two boards merged into the present board of directors.
