"If you think you know Springfield, wait until you experience Leadership Springfield. I learned more about this city in the last year than I could hope to know in a lifetime of living here. The most encouraging aspect of the experience was knowing that my dynamic fellow classmates would be stepping up to take leadership roles now and in the future. I consider Leadership Springfield an essential component of my professional experience and growth."

-Marc Maness, director of community development and grants, Springfield Public Schools, Class XIX
