This week, Sightline is happy to announce a rare internship–an opportunity to work with Sightline’s executive director Alan Durning on organizational development and research projects. It’s a valuable experience for anyone interested in nonprofit management and leadership—something of a cross between an extended job shadow and an internship.
Typical tasks include:
- gathering info on, and outreach to, community leaders
- research for Alan’s speeches and publications
- supporting efforts toward recruitment and orientation of Sightline’s Directors and Trustees.
Mid-career professionals making a job transition are encouraged to apply, as are aspiring nonprofit leaders at the beginning of their careers. The intern must hold at least an undergraduate degree; a graduate degree or two years experience preferred.

Just wanted to share some interesting info with anyone who might be considering this golden internship-opportunity with Alan Durning. “The New York Times” is running a new Sunday Business column featuring great interviews with CEOs. It seeks to identify the keys to effective leadership. Only just discovered the column today; so have only had time to peruse a few of the interviews. But there is great wisdom being shared by these shining beacons, for anyone interested in learning excellent leadership skills.http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/columns/corner_office/index.html
