She advised the group that adaptability, flexibility and an entrepreneurial attitude are valuable qualities in the pursuit of success, and highlighted the importance of eliminating distractions. During her term, Hampton has focused her efforts on what she refers to as the “4 E’s: Entrepreneurship, Education, Emergency preparedness, and being an Example.” She is also working on the Lt.
