Speaker of the House Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) appoints the pages and introduces each one to members and citizens in the House gallery at the start of each week during Monday night’s session.

Pages spend a week at the General Assembly assisting members and their staff and learning about the structure of North Carolina government.
