Washington Youth Tour 🇺🇸🚐
⚡️ Day 6 – A Meaningful Finale
Today, our Washington Youth Tour delegates experienced one of the most memorable and moving days of the trip.
The day began with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where students reflected on the sacrifice and service of the brave men and women who have served our nation. We were especially proud that Plateau Electric Cooperative was selected to participate in the wreath-laying ceremony, with our Overall Story Contest Winner, Emily Slaven, representing our cooperative in this special honor.
Students also visited the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, home to some of the most historic aircraft and space exploration artifacts in the world.
This evening, delegates will head to National Harbor before attending NRECA’s Youth Night, where they will connect with fellow students from across the country through networking, leadership activities, and cooperative education. Students will learn more about the cooperative difference, how electric cooperatives serve their communities, and the important role they play in developing future leaders.
As our Washington Youth Tour experience comes to a close, we are incredibly proud of these students. Throughout the week, they have explored our nation’s history, gained valuable leadership skills, and built lifelong friendships.
Thank you to everyone who has followed along on this incredible journey. ⚡🇺🇸✨

⚡️ Day 5 on Capitol Hill!
Today, our Washington Youth Tour delegates are spending the day in the heart of our nation’s government as they explore Capitol Hill and experience American democracy in action.
Students toured the Library of Congress, where they learned about the world’s largest library and its role in preserving our nation’s history and knowledge. Delegates will have the opportunity to tour the United States Capitol, gaining firsthand insight into the legislative process and the rich history of this iconic landmark.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting with Tennessee’s U.S. Senators, Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn. Students had the chance to hear from their elected officials and learn more about public service. Fun fact; Marsha Blackburn was also a Washington Youth Tour delegate.
As the week continues, our delegates are gaining valuable experiences, building lasting friendships, and creating memories that will stay with them for years to come. We’re proud of these outstanding young leaders and all they have accomplished during their time in Washington, D.C.!

Today began with a visit to George Washington’s Mount Vernon, where our delegates had the opportunity to explore the home of our nation’s first president. Students toured the mansion, visited the museum, walked through the gardens and farm, and gained a deeper understanding of George Washington’s life, leadership, and legacy.
It’s been a full week of sightseeing, walking, learning, networking, and making memories with fellow students from across the country—and there’s still so much more to experience!
Today’s agenda includes visits to the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington National Cathedral, and the Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima). The day will conclude with the spectacular Sunset Parade, a memorable display of military precision and tradition.

This week we hosted our 2nd Annual Co-op Safety Day in Scott and Morgan Counties. 🦺⚡️
This year we grew our event by 6 vendors, and we were proud to have partnered with The Highland Connection to make this an even bigger, and better experience for these students!
We could not have made this event possible without all of our employees, partners, volunteers, and our incredible school systems! When we went in to meet with these school superintendents to discuss this event for the students-all of them answered the same, “we will work with you however we can to make this happen for these kids!” We are so blessed to have a community of people who are willing to go above and beyond for the kids in our community! Thank you Kelly Chitwood, Jamie Pemberton, Brent Shoemaker, and Marc Taylor!
Students came to our office to experience a true idea of “life at the co-op”. They got to see first hand the dangers of electricity and fiber installations. The students got to try out a little customer service experience with OneBank of Tennessee, waiting on customers, taking payments, learning how to write checks, and even got to cash out with a $1.00 bill! One Bank of Tennessee
We had some of our distributors and suppliers with us today to discuss materials, costs, and careers in sales and cooperatives! A huge thank you to Gary Slusher and his team at GRESCO along with Rob Sanders at Power&Tel for making time in their week to be with us! You all are awesome! Gresco Utility Supply Inc. Power & Tel
We also had Kristi Cornelius with TCAT, talking about programs offered at TCAT locations local to these students. Technical careers are NEEDED careers! They have an awesome lineman program as well as many others that are worth checking out! Tennessee College of Applied Technology - Oneida/Huntsville
We can’t forget Service Electric Co. - these guys showed up and showed out with their team this week as well. We really appreciate them being with us and bringing some insight on travel, safety, storm work, risks, and hands on experience for these kids using safety gear! Service brought some great information about how to get involved in line work, getting a journeyman ticket, and more! Service Electric Company
The Highland Connection brought a “cutting-edge” hands-on fiber splicing demo, tons of great giveaways for the students, donated laptops, and Kindles for our student drawings, discussed careers, and so much more! They also helped sponsor our lunches this week to feed OVER 500 students!
And last but not least, our PEC family- our guys gave some “ELECTRIC” safety demonstrations with our JT&S hotline safety trailer. We showed real, life-sized outage scenarios. Crews discussed our most common causes of outages, how to stay safe when exposed to downed power lines, and the restoration process. (Never go near downed power lines!!) Students also got to learn about the difference in insulators and conductors. Required safety procedures, equipment, and maintenance it takes to “keep the lights on!”💡 We donated over 25 Under Armour backpacks and school supply kits where students were entered into a drawing to win several great prizes! We also want to thank our partners at TVAEnergyright for donating clear stadium bags and several items so every student could leave with some great items! (Power banks, pencils, chapstick, phone wallets, tape measures, stickers, and more!) We also want to extend our appreciation to our friends at Dark Horse Companies for being a sponsor for the lunches today to feed these students as well. We appreciate all the work they do in helping keep our right-of-ways clear, their assistance in major outages, and all they do for us at Plateau Electric!
To sum it all up it was a GREAT week!⚡️🦺💡 ...

Proud of these guys and the work they’re doing! Please keep these crews in your thoughts & prayers as they work to recover from Hurricane Isaias.🙏🏼🌀
As an electric cooperative, we’re proud to stand behind the Seven Cooperative Principles, including Cooperation Among Cooperatives. When one cooperative needs a helping hand, we’re proud to come together, support one another, and serve the communities that count on us!⚡️We are thankful for this crew from Plateau Electric Cooperative, who have arrived to assist in our storm recovery process. We also have MDR Construction and Asplundh working alongside our own team. And more help is on the way!
As of 8:00 this morning, there are 3,110 members without power. Our Oak Hill Substation is fed by Alabama Power transmission, and APCo is still working to restore service to it. We have crews working all over the service area, and they are working as hard as they can to get everyone back on.
Thank you for all your support, kindness and patience. 💚 ...
