In this final episode of the SGF Insider "Plugged In" segment, the Leadership Springfield team sat down to talk about what it means to say your best yes. We talk about celebrating wins, cultivating our team culture, hopes for 2026, and so much more as we say goodbye to this chapter of storytelling. More to come on what sharing alumni and community stories will look like very soon, but for now, tune in and help us reflect on the past 5 years of "Plugged In"!
