Need more proof that Hancock County is a great place to raise kids? The HancockWood
Electric Cooperative Trustees recently recognized three Youth Leadership
Council delegates who were selected to attend the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association’s annual meeting. The representatives from the Hancock-Wood County
area were selected from 10 counties in the NW Ohio area to attend their respective
conferences— a designation that no other county has ever achieved. In 2013, Olivia Velasquez
was selected to attend the conference in Nashville. In 2014, Rachel Wenzinger
was given the honor and in 2016, Rachel’s brother, Ryan, was selected. Each winner
presents a speech to more than 8,000 CEOs, executives and workers from the electric
energy field. For more information about Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative, visit
