Leadership Springfield is the premier program for leadership development in the Ozarks, designed to inspire, develop and connect leaders to serve the Springfield community.
In over 30 years of operating, we have graduated more than 3, community leaders who are motivated and inspired to make an impact. As a member of the national Association of Leadership Programs, Leadership Springfield provides three distinct community leadership programs for the Springfield metro area: the Signature Class, the Leadership Springfield Academy Class and the Access Class.
In addition to these three programs, we offer ongoing membership opportunities for alumni to continue putting their class experience into action, through alumni engagement opportunities and more. Explore our community leadership programs. Modeled after the nine-month Signature Class, the Leadership Springfield Academy C lass engages the future workforce of our community and allows students to become more engaged and informed citizens.
New transplants to the city can plug into the community immediately through the Access Class β a one time fast-paced, two day program offered quarterly. This delivery model allows local leaders to get up to speed on major industry, initiatives and contacts.
The Access Class also allows longtime Springfieldians an opportunity to participate in a community leadership program and expand their professional network without the time commitment of the flagship program.
