INTERNSHIP: Paid internship with The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee

Paid internship with The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee (CPAC)is
seeking a graduate intern to serve for an open-ended, paid internship.

In the short term (through the April aldermanic run-off election), the intern would
assist in an intense fund-raising effort for the CPAC.

Post election responsibilities are likely to center on on-going fund-raising
efforts to enable the PAC to support worthy candidates in non-election years.

Funds generated will be used to support candidates for the Chicago City
Council whose views and positions support and enhance the Chamber's
"growth and jobs" campaign.


The graduate intern should exhibit the following qualities:

1. Strong interest in electoral politics and government;

2. Practical knowledge of Chicago and Illinois government and politics;

3. Pleasing personality and strong interpersonal skills;

4. Positive phone presence; and

5. Tenacity.

*Resumes should be sent directly to Chris Johnson at:
*cjohnson@chicagolandchamber.org .

*Please also copy Dr. LaPorte on all correspondence to Mr. Johnson when you apply.*
