Twenty-two of Kentucky’s 24 electric cooperatives participate in the Kentucky Rural Electric Washington Youth Tour.
Although all participants must be between their junior and senior years in high school and no older than 18 at the time of the Washington trip, each electric co-op has a unique method of selecting students for the trip. Some co-ops hold essay contests; some rely on personal interviews; some administer qualifying exams.
Students interested in the Washington Youth Tour trip must apply through the electric co-op that serves their area of the state. For example, students living in the Hopkinsville area may only apply through Pennyrile Electric Cooperative while students living in the Somerset area may only apply through South Kentucky RECC.
If you have questions or need to contact the KAEC liaison.
After 37 years with @fmecooperative, today marks the final annual meeting for Joni Hazelrigg. The co-op’s CEO since 2014 is retiring on July 8. Congrats and thank you, Joni!

Exciting day for Shelby Energy @Shelby4420 at a groundbreaking for its newest electric co-op member @WielandGroup with a $100 million recycling & refining center in Shelbyville to employ about 75 people.
Humorous, interesting and so generous with his time.
Thanks @RepThomasMassie for speaking with our Washington Youth Tour student delegates representing electric cooperatives across Kentucky on Capitol Hill.
