The Alumni Impact Series is a new way for LeadSGF alumni and the broader community to stay connected. Inspired by the energetic and knowledge-packed Signature Class program days, the Alumni Committee has created this new experience just for you! In just a few hours, you’ll gain relevant knowledge that translates into impact. Through abbreviated program day formats, these opportunities combine the ability to take a deep dive into one of Leadership Springfield’s Signature Class themes while learning how to contribute to and impact our community. The inaugural Alumni Impact Series event will focus on the theme of Building Community. We will hear from a panel of local leaders who are driving various community-building initiatives:
-Erin Danastasio, Executive Director of the Hatch Foundation
-Christine Peoples, Timmons Hall Education Coordinator for the Springfield-Greene County Park Board
-Tim Rosenbury, Director of Quality of Place Initiatives for the City of Springfield
-Rusty Worley, Executive Director of the Downtown Springfield Association
Following the panel, participants will receive a VIP experience at the new "Creating Community: The Jews of Springfield” exhibit opening at the History Museum on the Square. The consulting historian for the exhibit, Dr. Mara W. Cohen Ioannides, will provide insight into the experiences of the faith-based Jewish community in Springfield along with beverages and kosher treats.
