Research and Motivate for the MOA and MOPAC! $

MICHIGAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION (MOA)

The MOA is the professional association of the osteopathic profession in Michigan. MOA is the largest state osteopathic association in the country with approximately 5,400 members. We work very closely with the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM). We are involved in helping our members in many areas but for this position the focus will be in the public relations, public policy and political arenas. The MOA is seeking an intern to work 80 hours over the Fall Semester. This internship can be done for school credit and a stipend of $800 will be paid at the end of the assignment. This internship will allow the successful candidate to work independently assisting the MOA in marketing and growing its political action committee, MOPAC. We would prefer a student with a car as an occasional trip to our office in Okemos may be required.

Typical duties will involve research about campaign and political action committee donations as reported to the MI Secretary of State. Research on political news of interest to physicians will also be required. Taking the research results and then turning that information into emails and other materials that will motivate more osteopathic physicians to contribute to MOPAC. This is a bi-partisan position and what we want is someone who can help us drive more of our members to become active contributors to MOPAC. The current economic conditions in Michigan have taken a toll on our contributions and we need to build up our balance for the 2010 election year campaigns.

Interested applicants should submit a resume, 2 writing samples and an explanation of why they would be the perfect person for this position to:
