Leadership Pioneer Valley is a small professional training and coaching organization that identifies, develops, and connects diverse leaders to strengthen the region. Its core offering is a 10-month regional leadership development program that engages both emerging and existing leaders from nonprofits, business, and government, providing an in-depth, experiential learning experience and expanded professional networks. The program emphasizes diversity in its cohort, seeking participants across employment sectors, geography, race, gender, and sexual orientation. The organization is based in Springfield, Missouri, and aims to foster collaboration among diverse leaders to tackle issues across the Pioneer Valley’s 69 communities and three counties. In addition to the main program, it runs complementary initiatives such as a Leadership 2.0 series, an alumni program, board matching, and diversity and inclusion work. A recent development noted is the announcement of campaign co-chairs for the LEAP 2023 Campaign.
