Leadership Eugene Springfield Graduates Congratulations to the 28 graduates of this year's Leadership Eugene-Springfield Program. Through monthly, day-long sessions, they have each broaden their knowledge and awareness of community issues and strengthened their personal leadership skills. Seminars range from infrastructure and public policy to community history and human services. Trainings include conflict resolution, facilitating and presentation skills. Each year Leadership Eugene-Springfield generates knowledgeable, networked, and skilled leaders ready to advocate and represent the community as they interact with government business and non-profits and create a positive local future. listed alphabetically by last name Nick Balthrop, Gaydos, Churnside & Balthrop; Amy Beazley, Royal Caribbean; Jenny Bennett, Summit Bank; Scott Chase, Twin Rivers Baptist Church; Chelsea Clinton, Oregon Department of Education; Jennifer Connors, EWEB; Jayson Davis, Summit Bank; Michael Dunne, Pacific Continental Bank; Bob Forester, Barrett Business Services; Emily Gray, Moss Adams; Kyle Hauser, Moss Adams; Matt Hilton, Pacific Continental Bank; Chelsea Holland-Bak, PeaceHealth; Kyle Hughes, KLCC- Lane Community College; Sean Huntington, SELCO Community Credit Union; Holly Jimenez, Oregon Community Credit Union; Sasha Luftig, Lane Transit District; Lori Mace, SpringWell Health Center/ The Cannery; Nick Nelson, Realty One; Rachelle Nicholas, City of Eugene- Finance; Ashley Petsch, Eugene Symphony Association; Thomas Pettus-Czar, The Barn Light; Joshua Purvis, Technology Association of Oregon; Sam Roberts, Hutchinson Cox; Valerie Sharr, Junior League of Eugene; Caitlin Vargas, Eugene Mission; Cynthia Vignos, NeuroSpine Institute; and Tara Wibrew, Oregon Contemporary Theatre.
