Bright, talented high school juniors from all over the state descend in February upon Florida’s capital and prove that the leaders of tomorrow are nothing short of spectacular! Twenty-four of these rising young leaders from Gadsden, Leon, Liberty, and Wakulla Counties were selected to participate in the Talquin Electric Youth Tour. They were selected based on scores for academics, leadership, public speaking skills, and volunteer service in their schools and communities. Four students were selected from this elite group to represent Talquin at the 2020 NRECA National Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. this summer. The national delegates were Molly Jones, Michael Sumpter, Michael Carey, and Charles Latimer. These delegates traveled to Washington D.C. this summer where they joined about 2,000 students from all over the United States. They learned about the unique cooperative business model and our democratic government while visiting historic landmarks during the tour. Students must have a close relative who is a Talquin Member in order to compete and must currently be a high school junior in the Talquin service area.

Each youth is chosen to represent his or her state on the Youth Leadership Council (YLC) by his or her state delegation during the NRECA Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the YLC conference is to build leadership and public speaking skills and to enhance the delegates’ knowledge of the energy industry and the cooperative form of business.
