Press Release Summary: (Richmond Hill, Georgia, September 5, 2007) Carlos Page, a
Senior Security Officer, will be honored as this year's outstanding older worker
from Georgia as part of the Experience Workssm Prime Time Awards Program.
Experience Works, the nation's largest provider of training and employment services
for older workers, recognizes outstanding older workers from all 50 states, the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

The Georgia Older Worker Network selects outstanding older workers and outstanding
employers of older workers from each district in Georgia annually. The state
honoree was announced at the 19th Annual Older Worker Network Luncheon on August
31st at St. Simons Island.


Press Release Body: The Prime Time Awards Program is the only national program that,
each year, honors the contribution of working seniors. Now in its ninth year, the
Prime Time Awards Program seeks to remove barriers to employment and lessen negative
stereotypes about older workers. Mr. Page will be honored at the Prime Time Awards
week in Washington, DC on October 3-5, 2007. The visit will include meetings with
congressional representatives, U.S. Senate and U.S. House events, and the awards
banquet and ceremony. In addition, America's Oldest Worker will be announced at a
press conference on October 4.

Carlos Page stood for his country with a tour of duty in the US Army. He was an
employee of the US Postal Service retiring after 29 years. However, his time in the
workforce did not stop there. From the post office, Page crossed the street to be
a part time ticket seller at the Augusta- Richmond County Civic Center Complex.
Twelve years ago, he became a full time employee as their senior security officer.
Heading up security for all events at James Brown Arena and Bell Auditorium, Page
also trains and assigns other security officers and uses his mechanical talents to
repair and maintain the Zamboni ice machine for Augusta Lynx hockey games. Many
games would have been canceled if his skills had not been available. At age 74,
Page not only puts in 40+ hours working, but also offers fellow employees valuable
information from expertise gained after 55 years in the workforce. He enjoys
spending his off time with his wife and his six daughters and their families.

"As our population continues to age, it is becoming more important than ever that
businesses look to older workers to fill critical jobs," said Billy Wooten, regional
director of Experience Works. "Our Prime Time Awards Program showcases the talents
of our nation's seniors and helps us demonstrate that ability is truly ageless."

Experience Works is a charitable, community based organization focused on meeting
the training and employment needs of low income seniors. Experience Works is
supported by individual donations, foundations and grants. Information about
