Executive Office has seen a lot of excitement these past few weeks, and it’s not just because Leadership Seminar is right around the corner. Our Executive Office interns arrived, and as they do every year, have brought a new energy to the office. The 2018 Executive Office interns are a group of exceptional women that bring a diverse range of skills and talents to the job. They’ve been a critical part of LS prep, have learned lots from alumnae and professionals, and have already hit a couple hot spots in the ATL! So, without further ado, meet the EO Interns:

Why be an EO Intern? I had heard such amazing things about the internship program at Grand Convention in 2017, which was my initial spark of wanting to become an intern.
