“I’m honored for the opportunity to serve my country and advance President Trump and Secretary Wright’s mission to unleash the golden era of American energy dominance. I’m grateful for the support of the Steamboat Institute in making this possible and look forward to the important work ahead.”
– Carter Mateer
As an Emerging Leader, Carter helped the Steamboat Institute pioneer our “Outspoken Roundtables” mock debate program. In everything he does, Carter goes above and beyond, working to help cultivate an environment where civility and critical thinking thrive.
We are so proud and excited for Carter, and for all of the great work our Emerging Leaders do!
