This morning, LeadSGF Executive Director Carrie Richardson and Ben Vickers with the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce visited the Rotary Club of Springfield North to share the story behind GEARS, a custom program in partnership with the Chamber. Together, they walked through how the program came to be through the Manufacturing Leadership Council and the real impact it's making on manufacturing industry leaders across our region.

Thank you to Rotary North for the invitation! The GEARS momentum is real, and we can't wait to see how this program continues to grow.💡

Congratulations to Mark McNay, recipient of the 2026 O. Franklin Kenworthy Award for Outstanding Leadership! 🌟

A Signature Class 4 graduate and President of SMC Packaging Group, Mark has spent nearly five decades building not just a successful organization, but successful people. Mark has poured that same commitment into Springfield through countless community initiatives, organizations, and causes that have helped shape our region’s future. His fingerprints are on so much of what makes this community great, including helping lay the groundwork for GEARS, a custom program in collaboration with the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.

We honored his legacy last night at One Big Class Reunion, and last week when we surprised him surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues who have witnessed his impact firsthand.

Stay tuned for more highlights from our 40th Anniversary celebration coming soon!

One Big Class Reunion is next Friday, and tickets are still available! We want every era of LeadSGF in the room on June 5th.

This year, we're leaning all the way into the reunion vibes to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Think walls of photos and memorabilia spanning four decades, a full dinner, cheering on another program year of graduates, and finding out who takes home the Kenworthy and Visionary Volunteer awards. Plus, the class competition is back, and there's a trophy on the line, and an extra special class competition fundraiser this year, too!

Every class. One big night to celebrate. Save your seat now: bit.ly/OBCR2026
