For more than 50 years, electric cooperatives across the state and nation have been sending young adults to the nation’s capital for an actionpacked tour.
Highlights of the trip include meeting congressional leaders, visiting national monuments and historic sites, touring Smithsonian Institution museums, going on a boat cruise on the Potomac River, seeing a show at the Kennedy Center and rallying with fellow students for a day of inspirational leadership speakers.
