Council Chair Voted Captain Springfield
Over the first couple of weeks of September, the News-Leader conducted a bracket to crown Captain Springfield -- a person who helps the community and represents it well. In the final round, in less than 48 hours of voting, more than 11 thousand votes were cast. In the end, Matt Simpson, who serves as chair of the Greene County Extension Council, took about 55 percent of the vote to win. He received support from Ozarks Technical Community College, where he works as Director of Research, Strategic Planning and Grant Development, the Greene County Extension Council and the Springfield Public School Foundation (another board on which he serves). Simpson's prize is that he takes ownership of the Captain Springfield Twitter handle for the next year. Of course we are looking forward to Captain Springfield using his new power to occasionally give a shot out to Greene County Extension or plug some local extension programs!
