POSITION OVERVIEW
The Government Affairs team is the Partnership's voice on policy - particularly focused on the legislative and regulatory policies that impact the federal workforce and federal management of agencies . We advocate for effective policies by working to collaborate with and educate Congressional staff and Members of Congress, Executive Branch agencies, the White House and a variety of stakeholder organizations. We also work to advance the organization's effective government policy agenda by building bridges of understanding between federal agencies and Congress, promoting useful technologies to improve federal service delivery, advocating for the modernization of America's civil service system and sharing the Partnership's work with committees, members and their staff.
Interns on the Government Affairs team will assist the team with a variety of critical policy tracking and research, including:
+ Tracking Congressional committee hearings and legislative activity
+ Taking notes on relevant hearings and sharing them with the broader Government Affairs team
+ Drafting policy and hearing updates
+ Synthesizing news related to the Government Affairs team's work
+ Assisting in the drafting of the Government Affairs newsletter
+ Engaging in research and drafting short policy briefs on topic areas on our policy agenda
+ Participating in Congressional meetings, meetings with stakeholder organizations and events hosted by the Government Affairs team
+ Networking across the Partnership to learn more about how our work impacts federal agencies
The Government Affairs team offers interns the opportunity to become more informed about the legislative and regulatory process, and the policies and practices of the federal government.

It is a hands-on position with an opportunity to tailor the internship to the areas of interest of the intern.
The ideal candidate will have strong written and verbal communication, a basic understanding of Congress, some quantitative research abilities, flexibility to adapt to changing priorities, and a commitment to public service.
