Local Student Attends 2024 Youth Leadership Conference

Samuel Brimberry, an upcoming junior at Jasper County High School in Monticello, represented Tri-County EMC at the Georgia Cooperative Council’s 2024 Youth Leadership Conference, held July 8-12 at the Georgia FFA/FCCLA Center in Covington. The conference's mission is to educate students about cooperatives, build their leadership skills, and promote teamwork through a series of activities, trainings, and presentations. To kick off the five-day conference, students engaged in personality assessments and the “Co-ops 101” program, in which speakers discussed the cooperative way of business, including history, organization, member benefits, and current issues. Students also heard presentations from Georgia EMC, Go Energy Credit Union, Walton EMC, and many more. Other fun highlights of the conference included a high ropes course, mud obstacle course, pizza party, and slip and slide. To conclude the conference, students visited a local farm where they learned the daily tasks associated with maintaining dairy cattle. If you know a student interested in attending the 2025 conference, encourage him or her to apply next year at www.tri-countyemc.com/cooperative-youth-leadership-conference.
