About ALEC
The American Legislative Exchange Council is America’s largest nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization of state legislators dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism. Comprised of nearly one-quarter of the country’s state legislators and stakeholders from across the policy spectrum, ALEC members represent more than 60 million Americans and provide jobs to more than 30 million people in the United States.
All Americans deserve an efficient, effective and accountable government that puts the people in control. ALEC provides a forum for experts to discuss business and economic issues facing the states. The ALEC model policy library is
home to dynamic and innovative ideas that reduce the cost of everyday life and ensure economic freedom. ALEC ideas and publications are the product of countless hours of research, debate and discussion and serve as a toolkit for anyone who wants to increase the effectiveness and reduce the size, reach and cost of government. ALEC is proud to offer real solutions to the top issues facing the states, and the strength of the ALEC family is proof that good ideas are better when shared.
About the Role
The Finance and Accounting Intern will work closely with the Chief Financial Officer. He or she will assist with the overall operation and budget of the organization.
Duties will include daily accounting activities required to maintain the Councils general ledger, registration process for ALEC meetings and daily maintenance of monthly, quarterly and annual closing activities.
This internship would be best suited for a self-motivated individual who would like to gain experience with non-profit accounting principles and procedures and one who has the ability to exercise initiative and sound judgment. Most importantly this intern should possess strong organizational skills and have the ability to maintain detailed records.
