"The benefits of Leadership Springfield may be summed in the word 'network,' but they're far greater than that word. Through Leadership Springfield we build relationships with individuals that we might not otherwise have an occasion to meet and know. We become friends and can easily call upon one another in our professional lives."

The Academy Committee develops and presents a leadership program for high school students who attend the Springfield R-12 high schools or high schools located within the Springfield city limits. If the student changes schools following the retreat, he/she may continue to participate in the program.
