2


uniors Hannah Price from Ada High School and Cheyenne Falland from


Vanoss High School have been chosen as PEC’s delegates to the 52nd annual Washington D.C. Youth Tour, an all- expense paid leadership experience coordinated by the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives and sponsored by PEC. 1120100502


Since 1964, more than 50,000 young Americans have taken advantage of this special opportunity offered by their electric cooperative. PEC alone has sent 91 students since 1964.


“To be chosen for the trip is a real honor,” PEC’s vice-president of corporate communications and community relations Jennifer Boeck said. “Particularly since applicants vie for the coveted two spots alongside other teens across PEC’s eleven county service area who are community volunteers, student athletes, and members of respected academic organizations such as National Honor Society, student council, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, and Future Farmers of America, among many other prized clubs and associations.”


Approximately 388 juniors were presented the Youth Tour opportunity in local schools during January, and during February close to 70 students sat for a written test over materials about rural electrification. At the conclusion of the testing dates, an invitation was extended to the students receiving the top 10 scores on the test in order to compete in a final interview competition. PEC’s two winning delegates Price and Falland were selected by a panel of judges based on their poise, originality, professional appearance and personality during their personal interviews.


Also representing their respective schools in the interview portion of the contest were the following finalists: Hayley Dial, Stratford High School; Britton Ford, Holdenville High School; Tanner Goza, Byng High School; Preston Parks, Vanoss High School; Madison Roe, Coalgate High School; Will West, Stuart High School; Brendle Wilson, Byng High School and Anthony Yellowfish, Tupelo High School.
