Celebrating 75:
NEC Youth Tour Delegates Congratulations to Junior Rebecca Lancaster and to Junior Victoria
Wahlen both of Calallen High School! In June, Rebecca and Victoria will travel with about 150 other Texas High School co-op members to Washington D.C. where they will take VIP tours of the monuments and speak with our legislators about NRECA priorities. Each year, Nueces Electric Cooperative sponsors two attendees to make this educational and inspirational journey. The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour has brought high school students to Washington, D.C. every June since 1964. Nearly 50,000 students from rural areas and small towns across America have participated in this program. Some of our Youth Tour alumni have gone on to design airplanes, to lead companies and to serve in the highest ranks of our government, including the U.S. Senate. Nueces Electric Cooperative would like to congratulate you both again and we look forward to hearing all about your trip when you return! Reb

1970 Youth Tour Delegates

Since 1995, NEC has held an annual essay contest to select winners for an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. Below is a list of all of the delegates who have represented the Co-op. Many delegates have sent pictures and thank you notes throughout the years, and all have had the same theme that “this is the trip of a lifetime!” They represented us within NRECA and in front of our national legislators and we thank them for their being the face and the voice of the Co-op.
