New York, NY - January 14, 2011 - The New York Chapter of the National
Investor Relations Institute (NIRI-NY) announced today that it is
seeking partners in the New York area investor relations, public
relations and corporate communications communities who can offer
internships for the chapter's Logler 9/11 Internship Program in summer
2011.
In past years, NIRI-NY has successfully placed interns with
CapitalBridge, PepsiCo, Veeco Instruments, EDGAR Online,
Burson-Marsteller, Delphi Financial, Altria and Hain Celestial.
The Logler 9/11 Internship Program is sponsored on a volunteer basis by
NIRI-NY to provide meaningful summer internship opportunities to
relatives of victims of the 9/11 attacks. The program was founded by
NIRI-NY in memory of chapter member Elizabeth (Beth) Logler, Vice
President-Investor Relations of eSpeed, who lost her life in the attacks
on the World Trade Center.
In this, the 10th anniversary year of the
attacks, we remain as committed as ever to supporting those children who
are just now embarking on their professional paths. If you or your firm
has the ability to offer a paid summer internship in investor or public
relations or corporate communications, please email Patrick Tracey at patrick.tracey@computershare.com.
