The Collective - Springfield
The Collective is JMARK's invitation-only executive peer group, built on the belief that a leader's success is a direct reflection of the community they surround themselves with. It brings together executives to work through their toughest challenges in a small, trusted room — leaving each session with both clarity on how to tackle what's in front of them and a network of peers to lean on when things get hard.
Sessions run quarterly in markets like Tulsa and Springfield, are capped at 50 attendees to keep the conversation meaningful.
