Interns join in the planning process by maintaining contacts with participants and working out countless other details. Interns are vital to the smooth operation of our office. Their duties include constituent relations and general office maintenance. Answering the phones is largely an intern responsibility. Over the phone, interns record opinions from North Carolinians who want to express their views on a particular issue.
Interns also play a helpful role in greeting the many guests that pass through our door every day.
Many of these guests are North Carolinians who have traveled to Washington, D.C. to tour the Capitol. Interns are trained in the history of the Capitol and are very adept at leading a group of people on a fascinating journey through the building. Another aspect of constituent relations is answering mail. Interns help respond to constituent mail by entering address information into the database and mailing the finished letter out. Archiving office records is vital to maintaining organization.
