IAIA is in the process of searching for an intern and/or volunteer(s) for the academic 2008-2009 academic year.
We are an international non-profit for environmental professionals from around the world, with headquarters here in Fargo. We are a small staff (5 full-time plus one current intern), which means there are a number of varying opportunities available. We recently had an international business intern that focuses on international finance and marketing (we hold annual conferences in a different country each year, as well as manage 2500 members and numerous publications), and we could certainly use someone again in that same area. We could also use people interested in languages (translation, etc.), nonprofit management, grant writing, environmental research, and web development.
