We are thrilled to announce that Hannah Clay from Macclesfield has been selected as the winner of the 2024 Electric Youth Tour Contest by Edgecombe-Martin County EMC!

Hannah will be representing our community at this year's event in Washington, D.C. in June. The Washington Youth Tour, a prestigious program offered by electric cooperatives nationwide, selects high school juniors like Hannah to participate in a week-long adventure.

Through an essay contest, Hannah stood out among her peers by showcasing her passion and dedication. Now, she'll have the incredible opportunity to network with over a thousand students from across the country, witness our legislature in action, and learn about the vital role of electric cooperatives in our communities.

Hannah, daughter of Kelli and Eric Clay and a junior at Edgecombe Early College, is already making waves in various extracurricular activities including Beta Club, student council, and her church youth group.

In her own words, "I’m thrilled about joining the Youth Tour because of the opportunities it presents and the valuable life experiences it offers. Exploring Washington, D.C., will provide me with exposure to the capital and opportunities that are unique and unmatched."

Let's show our support and excitement for Hannah as she embarks on this incredible journey!
