An intern at the Woman’s National Democratic Club will primarily report to the offices of Development and Membership. Some common tasks include: creating press releases and fliers to promote bi-weekly speaking events, working with a variety of Task Forces and Committees (Global Women, PR, Programming, Major Gifts, Education, among others), researching possible donors, responsibility for a number of mailings, proofreading the monthly newsletter, helping with speaking event execution, and attending membership events.
The Club Manager and the WNDC President may also assign projects to interns, as needed.
The position includes clerical work (data entry, typing, etc.), but is also expandable to suit an intern’s particular interests. Interns will be encouraged to join a Task Force or Committee, or the WNDC-PAC. Interns are also encouraged to attend the bi-weekly speaking events.
“My internship at the WNDC provided me with valuable insight as to how a smaller organization works. I learned from not only my peers, but the members themselves. I was given the opportunity to attend many events and expand my horizons. The WNDC internship was overall a very enjoyable experience and I will take it with me for a very long time".
–Katie Zimmermann, Spring 2007
“An intern can expect to have a hand in every area of WNDC operations. Katie Coon, my internship supervisor and the Director of Membership and Communications, was very helpful and willing to work with me to insure I was doing what most interested me. I was also able to work with a number of members who hold leadership positions within the club. The membership of the WNDC is impressive and it is not unusual to sit next to a former ambassador during lunch”.
