NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The New York Chapter of the National Investor Relations Institute
(NIRI-NY) announced today that it is seeking partners in the investor
relations, public relations and corporate communications communities who
can offer paid internships for the chapter's Logler 9/11 Internship
Program in summer 2012.
The 9/11 Logler 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 in
2001 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 9/11 attacks, NIRI-NY remains committed to
supporting those students who are just now embarking on their
professional paths," said Bernard Kilkelly, President of NIRI-NY.
In past years, NIRI-NY has partnered with 9/11 charities including
Tuesday's Children and Silver Shield Foundation to successfully place
interns with BGC Partners, Lane PR, Capital Bridge, PepsiCo, Veeco
Instruments, EDGAR Online, Burson-Marsteller, Delphi Financial Group,
Altria and Hain Celestial.
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, NIRI-NY's Vice President of Professional Development, at [email protected].
For those companies that can only offer an unpaid internship, NIRI NY
can arrange for a stipend for the student to cover transportation and
other expenses.
