Evening Assembly with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt
Tonight, the program welcomed the Attorney General of Missouri: Eric Schmitt at the evening assembly. Schmitt spoke about his experiences as a Missouri State Senator,
allowing the citizens to see into the life of the Missouri born politician. Treasurer Schmitt enlightened the citizens with details about the modern economy: Relative
volitility, constant acceleration of innovation, and the new unprecedented age of career switching. However, despite such economic uncertainty, Schmitt conveyed the
massive opportunities available for Missouri Boys State citizens to become men of service; through non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity, military service, or even
public office. He then built up Missouri spirit by naming off people and ideas that hailed from Missouri.
After his speech, Mr. Schmitt had a lengthy Question and Answer period where MBS citizens were able to ask him questions.

During the Evening Assembly, Circuit Court Judge Alan Blankenship swore in the Missouri Boys State Supreme Court. After the assembly, the citizens were dismissed to further governmental activities,
