“I researched current and potential new donors’ giving capacities, donation histories, and contact information to facilitate relations and solicitations. I updated the online database and filing system. I completed comprehensive research on attendees of the MRC’s annual cruise and leadership retreats for staff to reference, as well as research for a large coalition project. Along with the other interns, I visited the Leadership Institute to hear from Morton Blackwell, visited Congressman Lamar Smith (TX) in his office to hear about the Media Fairness Caucus, toured Capitol Hill, heard from Donald Devine, and interacted with senior staff and L. Brent Bozell, III. I attended the Young America’s Foundation’s 40th National Conservative Student Conference in downtown DC.”
