Congratulations to our very own Melanie Henson! Melanie was chosen by SEIEC as one of two winners to represent Youth to Springfield and Youth to Washington. Because of South Eastern Electric Cooperative's contest and sponsorship, Melanie will be able to meet elected senators and representatives at our state capitol and learn first hand about the workings of our state government this March. This summer Melanie will be able to experience an all expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. where she and other students from Illinois will be able to meet U.S. Senators and have lunch with U.S. Representatives on Capitol Hill.
Congratulations Melanie, we are so proud of you!
