NCBA Accepting Applications for Public Policy Internship 


WASHINGTON (Feb. 20, 2012) - The National Cattlemen
<http://www.beefusa.org/> 's Beef Association's (NCBA) government affairs
office in Washington, D.C., is accepting applications for a summer 2012
public policy internship. The deadline to submit an application for this
opportunity is March 12, 2012. 

"Gaining valuable, hands-on experience through opportunities like the public
policy internship at NCBA helps prepare college students to make the
challenging transition from college to career," said NCBA Executive Director
of Legislative Affairs Kristina Butts. "We are looking for college students
with an interest in the beef industry and in public policy to help NCBA
represent cattlemen and women in Washington, D.C. The internship is designed
to work closely with the lobbying and communications teams on Capitol Hill
and assist with NCBA's regulatory efforts. 

The full-time internship will begin May 29, 2012 and end Aug. 17, 2012. To
apply, interested college juniors, seniors or graduate students should
submit the application, an official college transcript, two letters of
recommendation and a resume to <a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3Dind1202%26L%3DJMCINFO%26E%3D7bit%26P%3D28231905%26B%3D------%253D_NextPart_001_027A_01CCF560.2824FD00%26T%3Dtext%252Fplain%3B%2520charset%3Dus-ascii" >[log in to unmask]</a> More information and the
internship application are available on NCBA
<http://www.beefusa.org/howtoapply.aspx> 's website. 

"This isn't a 'check-the-box' style of internship. NCBA's public policy
interns work alongside NCBA staff on critical issues ranging from the estate
tax to food safety, the environment and more." Butts said. "If you or
someone you know is interested in this opportunity, we encourage you to
apply."
