Communications Director Brent Walker, ALMBS Class of 1981, Returns to Jackson's Mill with Message on the Real Work of Governing Brent Walker, Communications Director for the West Virginia Department of Transportation and the 1981 ALMBS Governor, returned to Jackson's Mill on June 10 to deliver a breakfast keynote on what it actually takes to govern. Speaking directly to ALMBS's newly elected leadership and bringing greetings from Governor Patrick Morrisey, Walker reminded Citizens that "winning the office is the clean part" — and that real leadership is "the brutal science of choosing between competing necessities." Forty-five years after his own ALMBS year, Walker said the memory of Jackson's Mill is still driving him. #ALMBS #AmericanLegion #BoysState #Mountaineer #MountaineerBoysState #WestVirginia #WV
