The Financial Services Forum is a non-partisan financial and economic policy organization comprised of the CEOs of 19 of the largest and most diversified financial services institutions doing business in the United States.

The purpose of the Forum is to pursue policies that encourage savings and investment, promote an open and competitive global marketplace, and ensure the opportunity of people everywhere to participate fully and productively in the 21st-century global economy.

Interning at the Forum will provide exposure to a wide array of policy issues affecting the financial services industry. Interns have the opportunity to attend congressional hearings, write reports and briefings on financial legislation, and coordinate discussions and meetings concerning some of the most significant topics surrounding the financial sector.

Responsibilities for the internship program include:

• Monitoring legislation and assisting in correspondence with the House, Senate and White House on issues important to the Forum;
• Researching issues of importance to the financial services sector and providing administrative staff support to the Forum; and,
• Assisting with Forum conferences and event planning.

Ideal candidates for this internship should:

• have an academic background or experience in government, international studies, or economics/finance;
• be interested in learning more about economics and finance, public policy, and the legislative process;
• be organized, focused, and able to take on multiple tasks; and,
• enjoy working in a fun team atmosphere.

While Forum internships are unpaid, most colleges and universities offer credit for internships of this nature.
