Jay, Northview Students Picked For Washington Youth Tour

March 14, 2016

Rebecca Boutwell of Jay High School and Zipporah Harris of Northview High School have been name winners of the  Escambia River Electric Cooperative 2016 Youth Tour to Washington contest.

Judges from PowerSouth Energy Cooperative in Andalusia, AL, and Southern Pine Electric Cooperative in Brewton, AL, scored contestants in their interviews based on their knowledge of Escambia River Electric Cooperative and the history of rural electrification.  Personal attributes of each candidate such as character, academic ability, personality and leadership skills were also considered.

Britt and Wiggins will represent EREC on the Washington Youth Tour in June. They will also have the chance to see the sites, learn about the nation’s capital, rural electrification and more.
