During this episode of the Lincoln Laureates, we’ll hear the story of a leader who brought the “Illinois Way” to our nation’s capital. In Washington D.C., Sam Skinner was often called the “Boy Scout” for his sense of ethics and integrity. Mr. Skinner is, in fact, an Eagle Scout who spent his formative years in Springfield.
As President George H.W. Bush’s Secretary of Transportation, he became known as the “Master of Disaster” for his leadership following the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, and Hurricane Hugo, among other crises. Listen and you'll learn how Mr. Skinner 'answered the call.'
