Manar discusses advocacy, engagement with Leadership Springfield

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) discussed the importance of community advocacy with a group of emerging leaders as part of Leadership Springfield’s Legislative Leadership Forum on Friday.

“Especially in the capital city, the more young leaders can engage with their lawmakers and state government the better they can understand the process, represent their community and advocate for important issues,” Manar said.

Leadership Springfield is a nine-month program organized by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce in which participants gain enhanced leadership skills and in-depth exposure to critical issues affecting the Springfield area.
