Youth Legislative Assembly
More than a dozen student leaders were recognized with special honors during the 39th annual Youth Legislative Assembly (YLA), which was held March 13-15 in Raleigh. About 266 students from across the state participated in the event, which was presented by the Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office of the N.C. Department of Administration.
The Richard White Leadership Award, named after 1996 YLA Tri-Speaker Richard White, is given to the senior-ranking members of the YLA Leadership Team who demonstrate strong leadership and organizational skills. The 2009 honorees include Holly Holbrook, Albemarle Senior High School, and Michelle Nguyen, Salisbury High School.
The Sud-Freemark Award of Service honors a student who has participated in the Youth Legislative Assembly for four years, with three of those years being on the leadership team. The 2009 recipients include Nguyen and Seth Morris, both of Salisbury High School.
