Tyler takes stage at NRECA Annual Meeting

Kailey Tyler, daughter of Jay & Kimberley Tyler of Willard, offered the invocation to begin the second general session at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's 66th annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif., on Feb. 26. An alumna of the 2007 Youth Tour, Kailey was selected to represent Missouri on the NRECA's Youth Leadership Council.

As a member of the YLC, the senior at Willard High School provided assistance to the NRECA staff and co-op delegates; carried the Missouri State Flag in the Parade of States at the opening general session; and participated in a variety of educational activities.
