The upcoming South Dakota legislative session runs from January 9 through March 25. Pages are appointed to serve in the House of Representatives or the Senate for one of five terms during the session's main run. They are assigned to committee meetings in the mornings and Chamber floor sessions in the afternoons, assist in the Legislative Post Office and help legislators as needed. During their term, pages not only learn about the legislative process and the issues facing their state, but also participate in scheduled social events, including a meeting with the governor.
