“I have been so proud to serve as the Leadership Springfield Board President for the past year. The last twelve months have been a banner year for the organization with so many accomplishments including the widely successful relaunch of Rosie and a record number of Signature Class applicants! Our organization, however, has only been this successful because of the people supporting it. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for our outgoing board members. And I’m delighted to welcome our new board members, and our new executive committee members! I am truly humbled by the community leaders who are willing to devote their time to help us grow and continue our mission of cultivating new leaders who are invested in Springfield. We are better because of the contributions of our outgoing board members, and we will continue to improve and do more amazing things because of our incoming board members. Thank you for a wonderful year! I cannot wait to see what the next year brings!” -Stephanie Wan, Outgoing Board President
