LISC Intern (Paid or Credit)

LISC has an opening for an intern with GIS skills, basic research and data
processing skills, and an interest in community/economic development.  The
basic work will be production of maps, data reports, background research,
preparation and formatting of presentations, all generally related to
commercial and economic development projects for LISC Chicago or LISC
MetroEdge.

The position requires approximately 20 hours a week.  We can either pay
hourly or work with the intern to use this experience to satisfy an
educational requirement.

The position is available immediately.  I know most have worked out their
summer plans, however, my current intern recently found a good full time
job (which is a great outcome for him!).  Along those lines, the upside of
working for LISC is great networking.  My four most recent interns are all
gainfully employed!


I will accept resumes until the position is filled.

Governor's Office Fellowship

Office of the Governor Pat Quinn
Budgeting for Results Fellowship

Fellowship Description
The Budgeting for Results (BFR) initiative in the office of Governor Pat Quinn, in collaboration with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), is seeking BFR Research Fellows for the duration of Summer 2012. These fellows will work closely with the Governor’s office, Governor’s office of Management and Budget (GOMB), GFOA and the Budgeting for Results Commission to carry out the early implementation stages of Budgeting for Results.

Fellowship Requirements
Fellows must be graduate students with at least one semester or two quarters of graduate school completed upon submission of the application. Students should be in good academic standing with a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Applications from all fields of study are welcome, but applications with fields of study closely aligned to the Governor’s Fiscal Year 2013 statewide priorities are preferred. BFR Research Fellowships will be held in Chicago, Illinois and Springfield, Illinois from June 2012 to August 2012. Applications must be submitted by May 23, 2012 and must include the application form, resume, transcript and references. If applicable, academic credit may be earned for participation in the fellowship.

The BFR Fellowship requires a 30 hour a week commitment. Each BFR Fellow will be expected to attend weekly meetings with their team as well as other meetings as necessary.

What is Budgeting for Results?
On July 1, 2010, Governor Quinn signed into law (15 ILCS 20/50-25), historic spending reform requiring Illinois to institute a results based budgeting process that ends the automatic funding of programs. By requiring the State to live within its means and focus on performance, BFR transforms how state officials, legislators and the public, prioritize, think about and implement the State’s budget.

As part of the Fiscal Year 2013 budget, the Governor adopted recommendations from the Budgeting for Results Commission* and outlined seven statewide goals representing the major functions and responsibilities of state government. All government spending is grouped into one or more of the major priority areas.

The priority areas set by the Governor and the BFR Commission are:
- Education: Providing a quality education and opportunities for growth
- Economic Development: Enhancing the economic well-being of citizens
- Public Safety: Protecting the lives and property of citizens
- Human Services: Protecting the most vulnerable among us
- Healthcare: Improving access to and the cost effectiveness of healthcare
- Quality of Life: Improving the quality of life for citizens
- Government Services: Improving the efficiency and fiscal stability of State Government

Role of BFR Research Fellows
Beginning June 2012, GFOA will be working with GOMB and Commission members to identify specific goals and sub-goals under each statewide priority in a process known as strategy mapping. Strategy mapping is a process used in Budgeting for Results to identify the underlying causes or factors that drive the strategic goals of an organization (in this case, the State) and inform decisions about what investments the State should make to achieve those goals.

GFOA will assist the Governor’s Office and GOMB in creating, training, and facilitating seven teams (one for each statewide priority) charged with recommending strategies for achieving statewide goals. Each team will be comprised of experts in the subject area of that statewide goal and will rely on the assistance of BFR Research Fellows. BFR Research Fellows will play a vital role conducting research on national studies, best practices, performance metrics, and other inquiries as required by the needs of the strategy mapping team. Each team’s work product will include: 1) a narrative describing the cause-effect analysis; 2) a strategy map that illustrates the major factors that are most closely related to Illinois’ success in pursuing the statewide priority; 3) a summary of information collected and used to conduct the cause and effect analysis; and 4) recommended budget strategies.

Nat. Trust for Historic Preservation, Sustainability Initiative Intern

Internship with the Sustainability Initiative of the National Trust for Historic Preservation: Chicago, IL

The National Trust is seeking an intern for work on sustainable communities related projects in the Chicago office this summer.

Preservation is an important component of any effort to build sustainable communities. The conservation and improvement of our existing built resources, including re-use of historic and older buildings, greening the existing building stock, and reinvestment in older and historic communities, is crucial to making our urban places healthier and more livable. Yet every year approximately 1 billion square feet of buildings are demolished and replaced with new construction in the United States. These demolitions not only threaten the cultural fabric of our communities but can also pose significant near-term climate change impacts. The National Trust seeks to better understand these demolition trends as it advocates for increased building renovation and reuse.

Duties

The primary duty of the intern will be to map demolition trends in Chicago and three other U.S. cities using Geographic Information Software (GIS). This will include locating online demolition records from the past ten years, entering the information into a database, and graphically mapping the data. The final deliverable will be a methodological standard, a GIS activity log, a geocoded map illustrating the demolition trends, an analysis of the maps delivered in narrative form, and a comprehensive database of buildings demolished and the new construction replacement.

As time permits, other tasks of the intern will include assistance with general sustainability/historic preservation outreach and communications, including the identification of newsworthy stories for distribution; guest blogging on preservationnation.org regarding the internship experience; and performing other administrative tasks as needed.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will be a graduate student in public policy, architecture, urban planning, or historic preservation with an interest in preservation, building reuse, building retrofits and/or sustainability. An intermediate knowledge of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is required.

How to Apply

To apply, please include a cover letter in the body of a message and email your resume as a Word, PDF or Text document to 87801-CS-815@nthp.hrmdirect.com.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation an equal opportunity organization and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability. The National Trust for Historic Preservation actively seeks opportunities to include members of these groups in its programs and activities.
