Join Leadership Springfield and Springfield Sister Cities staff for a “cafecito” (little coffee) and learn more about our trip to Tlaquepaque, Mexico. In celebration of both LeadSGF’s and the Springfield Sister Cities Association’s 40th anniversaries, this travel program will blend immersive cultural experiences, leadership development, and building social capital across borders. We will go through itinerary details and answer any questions you might have about this travel program. This informational session is open to those who have already registered for the trip as well as those who still have questions. This trip is open to anyone who is interested in a Leadership Springfield-style travel program. While the majority of the group are alumni, it is also open to non-alumni who align with the LeadSGF and Sister Cities missions.

Join us for a casual morning of coffee and connection with fellow Rosies — no RSVP required! Each month, we pop up at a different local coffee shop or women-owned business for an easy, drop-in-style gathering. Come when you can, grab a cup, and start your day with community. We can’t wait to see you there! Thank you to the Springfield Women Lawyers Association for sponsoring.

Self-doubt and the pressure to fit a narrow idea of what “professional” looks like show up across age, industry, and background, though not always in the same ways or at the same cost. Join Rosie for a candid panel discussion with women from different generations and industries as they share how they’ve built confidence, decided when and how to bring their authentic selves to work, and spoken up for what they believe in while maintaining their professional relationships, even in spaces that weren’t always built with them in mind. Building confidence matters, and so does building workplaces that make room for many leadership styles and honor the differences we each bring to the table. This conversation is for women at every career stage and from every background, because there’s no single right way to lead. Walk away with practical insight on showing up with confidence on your own terms.

Friendsgiving Happy Hour is open to Signature, Access, and Academy* Class alumni!

Widen your perspective of community engagement from local to global! In celebration of both LeadSGF’s and the Springfield Sister Cities Association’s 40th anniversaries, this alumni travel program will blend immersive cultural experiences, leadership development, and building social capital across borders.
