Current THIS intern, Lacey Reapsome attended the 25th Annual Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry dinner in Hershey on September 29, 2009. (To visit the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry's site click here.) The keynote speaker for this event was Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Reapsome said that the Secretary of State focused on promoting the United States as a leader in the world, especially during these hard economic times. Reapsome noted that Rice said that if the United States cannot be optimistic during these hard times, then what country will be? During the speech, Rice made the valid point that with the free market in our country, we are in a better position to recover and get back on track after this slump in the economy. Reapsome liked that Rice talked about her perspective as a federal working during and after the attacks on 9/11.
Lacey Reapsome is a student of Shippensburg University. She is an intern at the Governor's Office of the Budget.
