Maude Tipton, 2017 Miss Teen Palisades, was recently appointed as the YMCA Model Legislature and Court’s Chief of Staff. Tipton, a Palisades Charter High School student, was handpicked by Youth Governor Cole Cahill.
“As a close friend and member of last year’s Governor’s Cabinet, Tipton will be an incredible asset to me in sharing the duties of the forthcoming year and ensuring that the Office of the Youth Governor runs smoothly,” Cahill shared.
The MLC program has been the state’s premier youth leadership and civic development program since 1948, according to its website. The six-month program allows participants to learn the values of democracy.
