Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable,
often disabling, disease of the central
nervous system that disrupts the flow
of information within the brain, and
between the brain and body.
Walk MS connects people living
with multiple sclerosis and those who
care about them. When you participate
in this community event, the funds
raised give hope to everyone affected
by MS.
Tina attends Tennille Grove Baptist
Church in Tennille, where she oversees
its outreach ministry. Each year, the
ministry provides senior citizens with a
luncheon the Saturday before Thanksgiving and adopts 14 families each year
and provides them with a hearty food
basket.
The ministry holds a Food Festival
and Clothing Bank in March, June and
September. This event features a huge
cookout and clothing giveaway on the
church grounds. It is open to everyone
but designed for the needy.
Tina also serves as a trained mentor
for Ridge Road Elementary School in
Sandersville.
Bill Verner, vice president of External Affairs with Georgia EMC, says
Tina’s dedication and willingness to
help are especially meaningful since
charitable organizations in recent years
have experienced steady declines in volunteerism and giving. As a result, they
rely upon the generosity of others to
bridge the gap to provide aid to those
not served and the underserved within
their communities.
Tina was presented the GEMC
Community Service and Volunteerism
Award during Georgia EMC’s Annual
Meeting on Nov. 9 in Savannah. A $500
donation in her name will be made to
Tennille Grove Baptist Church Outreach Ministry.

What lesson did you learn from the Washington Youth
Tour that you think will serve you best in life?
Kirsten Farmer, Diverse Power, LaGrange. The improved skill of communication will serve me throughout my
life. At the beginning of the week, you’re introduced to total
strangers, but through communication, you feel like one
huge family by the end of the week. Like . C
Chris Larkins, Jackson EMC, Jefferson. The Youth Tour
has tremendously helped me turn into the leader I have
always wanted to be. I had always known I had potential to
become an extraordinary leader, but on this trip I discovered
what was missing: passion. Like . C
Sinead O’Bryant, Habersham EMC, Clarkesville.
Apart from rising to a new level of patriotism for the USA,
one of the most practical lessons I have learned is to meet
new people “right”—to seek out connections with each
person and quickly attach names to faces. J
Meredith Gunter, Rayle EMC, Washington. Yes, because
it gave me the opportunity to be with 110 other leaders from
all over Georgia. I got to see how they were successful leaders, so I could expand on my leadership abilities. Like . C
Kristen Atkins, Hart EMC, Hartwell. I learned from one
of my fellow delegates that we each have a small candle,
but when joined together, we shine so bright. Like . C
Bethaney Fortner, Washington EMC, Sandersville.
Although you may be looking into the eyes of others
whom you don’t know, if you just step out and share
your story, you will find that we all have so much in common! The world is a great place full of new adventure
awaiting. Communication is the key for leaders to become
effective. J
24D
Do you think the Washington Youth Tour will help you
become a better leader? Why?
Caroline Sweat, Washington EMC, Sandersville. Growing up, I always struggled with being shy. However, this trip
forces you to constantly go outside your comfort zone, which
I sincerely appreciated. This trip pushed me to do more and
become more, which is what being a leader is all about. J
Greg McKenzie, Altamaha EMC, Lyons. The people
around me on the Youth Tour gave off a sense of drive in their
lives, and you just knew that a majority of them will be successful later in life. Being around people like this motivated
me to work harder and be the leader in my community that I
know I can be. Like . C
Min Lim, Coweta-Fayette EMC, Palmetto. Out of numerous lessons, I have learned to give interminable respect and
gratitude to the ones who have fought for what we take
advantage of today—freedom. Like . C
Carrianna Simmons, Central Georgia EMC, Jackson.
From the tour, I learned that it’s so important to be kind and
accepting to everyone, no matter their backgrounds or opinions. This skill will help gain the respect of your peers and
those you are trying to lead. Like . C
Jacob Duke, Irwin EMC, Ocilla. To cherish every
moment with your friends. The Youth Tour opened great
opportunities to meet new people around the country and
showed me I’m not the only one interested in a specific
subject, such as law and other degrees. Like . C
Kerri Cheek, Georgia EMC, Tucker. Yes, because it showed
me that I can stand up for what I believe and what I think is
right without people thinking I’m weird or stupid. That doesn’t
matter in being a leader, and the tour has helped me see that
in a different light. Like . C

PHOTOS BY BYRON McCOMBS
The 2015 Washington Youth Tour
Tour photographer relishes
‘dream come true’ H
BYRON McCOMBS
Every family has one—the designated photographer on vacations and for gatherings and special occasions. That person spends
much of the time looking through a camera viewfinder (or at a phone)
to capture every photo op for posterity. Except for the kindness of
a passing stranger (or, these days, a selfie stick), there might be no
evidence the photographer was even there.
Byron McCombs has served four years in that capacity for Georgia’s Washington Youth Tour (WYT) family. McCombs, staff assistant
at Blue Ridge Mountain EMC in Young Harris, went on three tours as a
chaperone before he was asked to step into the new role of trip photographer. “To spend time with the caliber of young people selected
to attend the tour—while surrounded by our country’s history—is a
dream come true,” says the former history teacher and youth minister.
It’s difficult enough just to keep up with the weeklong tour’s
breakneck pace and the many logistical obstacles of moving 120
people (counting students and chaperones) through Washington,
D.C. But that’s just part of the challenge. “There’s no problem taking
plenty of beautiful pictures in the nation’s capital,” says McCombs.
“It’s trying to get photos of the students with other students from their
sponsoring EMCs in front of a historical landmark that presents the
real challenge.”
Electric cooperatives in Georgia use the photos taken by
McCombs in their newsletters published in GEORGIA Magazine and
can distribute them to local media to accompany stories promoting the
Washington Youth Tour.
Each year brings a new group of exceptional students, and the
opportunity to interact with them is what draws McCombs back.
“Each of them has a story to tell, and I like hearing them—where they
come from, how they got where they are and where they think they
are going,” he says.
McCombs’ contributions to the Youth Tour go far beyond photographs. “Byron’s knowledge and background as a history teacher enrich the group’s experience, and his witty sense of humor has caused
many uncontrollable bouts of laughter,” says Gale Cutler, tour director
for Georgia EMC. “The students love him, and I am so thankful that he
is involved with the Washington Youth Tour.”

What one piece of advice would you give to potential
Washington Youth Tour delegates?
Kaleb Todd, Canoochee EMC, Reidsville. If you are
chosen, do every last thing you can to enjoy the trip. You
may think a week with strangers is a long time, but after
the second day, those strangers will be family, and family
time is like lightning! It strikes rarely, but when it does, it’s
always a rush of energy! Like . C
Caroline Sweat, Washington EMC, Sandersville.
Most likely, you will find a small group of people in the
entire delegation that you really connect with and enjoy
spending time with. However, don’t isolate yourself from
the entire delegation. Spend time getting to know as many
people as you can. Just because someone doesn’t enjoy
the same hobbies as you doesn’t mean a relationship or
bond can’t be formed. Many of the people I became close
with on this trip enjoy totally different activities than I do.
Like . C
Bethaney Fortner, Washington EMC, Sandersville.
Take it all in, everything! The sights, the smells, the
sounds of the 21 shots in Arlington, but most of all, the
faces of the absolutely amazing people you will learn to
call your family! Don’t be scared to break out of your shell
and just be yourself the entire time, I promise everybody
will fall in love with you! Laugh a lot, and love always,
because it will be the quickest week of your life! J

BETH McMILLAN
Kirtan Parekh, Jackson EMC, Jefferson. Make the
most of the people who surround you, not necessarily the
things. Yes, while in the nation’s capital, take advantage
of that, but those monuments will be there forever. The
people that you’re with, they won’t necessarily be there
with you for more than a week. Make sure to embrace and
really learn every person’s that story. J

A number of former Washington Youth Tour (WYT) delegates followed a path that led
them to military service. Here’s a look at a few:
Tara Wickersham Miles
Blue Ridge Mountain EMC, 2010 WYT delegate
• Graduated in May 2015 from the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point with a degree in kinesiology.
• Graduated in December 2015 from Basic Officer Leaders Course
(BOLC) in Fort Sill, Okla.; air defense officer.
“My time at West Point taught me a lot about leadership and life. Following freshman year, I attended Air
Assault School, where I learned a great deal about transporting equipment via helicopters and rappelled 90 feet
from a helicopter.
“Going into my junior year, I was put in charge of
new cadets as they began their first summer at West
Point. That is where I met my husband. The following
summer, I spent two weeks learning infantry tactics in
the mountains of New York and later shadowed a second lieutenant in South Korea for three weeks. My senior
year, I was a leader in the Professional Military Ethics
Education program.
“I was lucky enough to marry my best friend, Nicholas Miles, a fellow West Point graduate, this past summer.
My husband and I will be stationed at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, Md.”
About the WYT: “I made great friends, and I learned
a great deal from the experience. I hope this trip continues to help develop young leaders like it helped me.”
Tara Wickersham with her father,
Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Wickersham.
Hannah Masterson Warren
Okefenoke Rural EMC, 2008 WYT delegate
Jimmy Warren
Oconee EMC, 2008 WYT delegate
When Hannah and Jimmy met on the 2008 WYT,
they realized they had some things in common: They
both lived in the country and were very active in the
National FFA Organization. They started dating in 2011
and were married in 2014, before Jimmy was deployed
to Afghanistan. They now live in Macclenny, Fla.
Hannah and
Jimmy Warren
Hannah:
• Graduated from Florida Gateway College in Lake City, Fla., in 2013;
studying public safety management at Florida State College in
Jacksonville.
• Assigned to the Florida Medical Detachment with the Joint Force
Headquarters out of Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in
Starke, Fla.
“Being a Navy brat, I was raised to have a high
respect for all military. In 2012, I joined the Florida Army
National Guard. After completing my training as a 68WHealth Care Specialist, I returned to my unit out of Tallahassee, Fla. Since then, I have a different assignment. I
received my emergency medical technician certification.”
About the WYT: ““The Youth Tour allowed me to
really blossom and become more outgoing. I learned some
great lessons on creating teams, friendship and partnerships. My sergeants know they can entrust me with a task,
and it will get done with some great teamwork.”
24F
Jimmy:
• Graduated in 2010 from West Laurens High School in Dexter.
• Assigned to Delta Company, 1-169th General Support Aviation
Battalion out of Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah.
“I was fascinated with jets from a young age and
always wanted to be a fighter pilot, but poor vision
prevented that dream. So I went for the next-best thing:
working on helicopters. The two jobs I hold are classified as a 15B-Aircraft Powerplant Repairer and 15U-CH47 Helicopter Repairer.”
About the WYT: “I have been able to use some of the
leadership techniques acquired on the trip to lead my
soldiers. The most important ability I have taken from the
Youth Tour is the cohesion portion. To be a great leader,
you have to have that connection to make the mission
run smoothly.”
