From North Raleigh Christian Academy, Emily Burns delivered her speech with one clear theme: making sure everyone’s voice is heard throughout YAG. Throughout her remarks, Burns emphasized the importance of expressing one’s opinions and using your unique voice to stand up for what you believe in. Burns believes in the power of an individual's perspective to contribute meaningfully to our society, because growth and positive change cannot occur in a country or community that does not value discourse.
Additionally, Burns is determined to strengthen communication prior to and during Conference, ensuring that each delegate feels supported throughout. Due to all the moving parts of YAG, this support is immeasurable and Burns wants to make sure that no one ever feels lost. If you are looking for a Speaker of the House who values your unique voice, inclusivity and clear communication, Emily Burns is the right choice for you.
