Celebrity Citizens

You may think of yourself as an average, ordinary person—going to work, dropping the kids off at practice, enjoying your various hobbies—but the Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau knows what you really are... a Celebrity Citizen just waiting for your moment to shine!

When might that moment occur? As soon as you're ready for it!

For example, are you a member of an organization that sponsors regional or statewide meetings? Is your son or daughter on a sports team? Does your civic organization hold an annual conference? If so and your group considers holding its next event in Springfield upon your recommendation, you will be rewarded with local fame and the Mayor of Springfield will officially recognize you as a Celebrity Citizen!

You're the expert on Springfield. You know our city offers the Midwestern hospitality of a small town and the accommodations and resources of a big city. You might also know that our proud historical heritage is brilliantly accented by rich, exciting social and cultural opportunities. You won’t have any problem convincing your organization that Springfield is the ideal location for your group's next gathering!

And as a Celebrity Citizen, you'll be honored as a local star, with an opportunity to glam up and dine out with the Mayor at the Bi-annual Celebrity Citizen Ball! Check out this list of past recipients and more details on the rewards.
