After going through the Signature Class and jumping into service on the Leadership Springfield Board of Directors last year, Eric Lampe (Signature Class 34) wants to assure local leaders that there’s always room to grow and encourages alumni to look for ways to make an impact locally in their personal and professional life.

The Leadership Springfield Board of Directors is thrilled to welcome two new board members. Each year, at least one member of each Signature graduating class are elected to represent that class on the Board.

Signature Class 35 graduate Emily Letterman chronicled her journey through the program from acceptance to graduation and everything in between.

As a graduate of Leadership Springfield Signature Class 2, Gerald “Gerry” Lee cites his experience as to how he “began to understand the needs of the community and developed a strong urge to begin getting involved.”

As Director of Prosper Springfield, Francine Pratt has a history of putting her passions to work and a strong conviction to help those in need within the community.

Stephanie began her career in 2006 as an assistant in the attorney general’s office after graduating from the University of Missouri School of Law.
