"I'm so excited about the second annual opportunity leadership summit. Last year, we did this and we had our interns come together, and this year, demand requires us to open the doors and let more interns in," said Senator Scott in his welcome video."Why is that so important? Because interns learn a lot about leadership by meeting with folks like Governor McMaster last year. This year, we're going to have more interns, more focus on leadership, and more focus on the things that make people like me, Henry McMaster, and so many other leaders possible."
