TDNA seeks an intern student to work with our Executive V.P. during the upcoming legislative session. The candidate should demonstrate a passionate interest in current events, politics and/or the political process. Our emphasis is always “freedom of information” and our lobby efforts were pivotal in the passage of the free flow bill during the last session. Next year, we will defend that bill, as well as prevent new “bad” bills from becoming law.
Although we cannot offer a salary, the selected student will be given a $1,000 stipend. The position will last from January 3, 2011 through May; it is essential that the candidate be willing to stay through May 31. We hope for minimum participation of 10 hours per week and are flexible—key session events require more, while some weeks require less. Preference will go to someone who is available during standard work day hours. This experience will be very well received by resume readers.
Note–There is additional opportunity for the selected student to serve as the official bill “reviewer” for the Legislative Advisory Committee if scheduling permits. This position offers additional funding and can be performed largely during the student’s own time at home!
Please direct resumes and questions to my office.
Warmest Regards,
