Tuesday, February 2, 2010 — Rep. Justin Burr of Stanly County announced Monday that he will be accepting page applications for the 2010 short session, which begins May 12.
Pages are hosted for one week in Raleigh as they serve on the House floor, attend committee meetings and learn how state government operates.
“The House Pages who participated during the 2009 session had a memorable week. They made new friends from around the state and got to participate in the legislative process,” Burr said.
He will be accepting applications on a first come, first serve basis. Basic requirements of pages are:
• Have permission from a parent or guardian.
• Be between the ages of 15 and 18 (or currently be in the ninth grade).
• Be in good academic standing at their schools and have prior approval of the principal if serving during the school year.
Positions fill up quickly, so interested applicants are encouraged to call Burr’s legislative office at (919) 733-5809 to have an application mailed to them.
For more information about the House Page program, call Bonnie Trivette, House Page Coordinator, at (919) 733-5701.
Burr represents the 67th District, which is made up of Stanly, Montgomery and Union counties.
