Springfield Leadership Institute 2020 participants adjust to virtual learning
For decades the Springfield Regional Chamber has brought together local leaders to help them develop their skills when it comes to management, problem-solving and other tools to advance their careers. This year the coronavirus pandemic made it impossible for participants to meet in person, but a recent group still graduated from the course.“The 16 business professionals who embarked on our Leadership Institute program in late February had no idea that the world would soon shift drastically due to COVID-19,” said Nancy Creed, president of the Springfield Regional Chamber. “Despite challenges presented by the pandemic, this year’s class proved their leadership skills in real time by showcasing their adaptability and flexibility as the program, their goals, and their interaction with classmates shifted to a new virtual platform.”
