Josh Kauffman
Josh Kauffman (MBA, 2008) was recently honored as one of Springfield's Forty Under 40 sponsored by the Springfield Business Journal, Security Bank and the University of Illinois Springfield. These forty young adults, the best and brightest, represent the future of business in Springfield and central Illinois.
Josh is currently a Public Information Officer and Spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Transportation. He also serves on the Board of Directors as Membership Chair for Downtown Springfield, Inc. and is on the Advisory Board for the Salvation Army.
When asked to describe his best business related decision, Josh said, "In my last position, I strongly advocated to bring all relative marketing communications activities in-house (public service announcements, media buys, social media, public relations, marketing/advertising and community outreach). This move resulted in unparalleled quality control, branding, precision, strategic alliances with advertisers, marketers and consultants, and cost savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars within the first year."
