Welcome to TECA's Youth Leadership Summit
A Few Rules to Live By

Having been selected by your electric system to attend this Summit, you are considered one of the top high school students in Tennessee. You will be serving as a representative of the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association and its member cooperatives from the time you leave until the time you return from Nashville. You have a responsibility to yourself, and to all the others, to conform willingly and cooperatively with the following reasonable expectations:

• Be punctual. We have a very busy schedule and cannot delay starting events if we are to see and do all the things we have planned.
• You will be required to participate in all planned activities of the Youth Leadership Summit. You will not be allowed to leave the group at any time.
• You will be required to wear your identification badge on your shirt or blouse at all times during the Summit.
• You must be in your room at the hotel at the time designated by the Summit Director or chaperones. You are not to leave your room after this hour except with special permission of a chaperone. You will not be allowed to visit other rooms or to have visitors in your room after curfew. Room checks will be made each night.
• You will share a room with two or three other Summit participants and will be expected to respect the rights of others. After curfew, you will be expected to stay in your room, be ready for bed and be reasonably quiet so that others may sleep.
• You must remain at the hotel at all times except when you are participating in the planned activities of the Youth Leadership Summit group. You will not be allowed to leave the hotel to visit relatives or friends in the area. Neither are Summit participants excused to tour Nashville on their own.
• Smoking, chewing tobacco, alcoholic beverages and/or any drugs are strictly prohibited during the Summit. If you take prescription medication, please provide written notification of the medication name and prescribed dosage requirements to the Summit Director.
• If you have a problem of any kind, let the Summit Director, or one of the advisors know as soon as possible.
• Dress attire for Tuesday afternoon is casual clothes that you do not mind getting dirty, including shoes. Rain or shine we will participate in this activity. This will be a fun activity that both students and adults will participate in.
