Applications from juniors and seniors in college are being accepted for the Colorado Corn Growers Association (CCGA) public policy internship, which will take place in Denver during the 2017 Colorado Legislative Session this spring.

The public policy intern will work closely with the CCGA lobbyist, and see up-close the work that goes into policies important to corn growers and agriculture in general, while also making relationships within the industry and at the state capitol.

The application deadline is Nov. 22. Applications and more can be found at at Colorado Corn Public Policy Internship.

Completed applications, as well as questions, can be sent to Ann Cross at across@coloradocorn.com. Those interested can also call (970) 351-8201.

Colorado Corn, based in Greeley, is made up of the Colorado Corn Growers Association and Colorado Corn Administrative Committee. The Colorado Corn Growers Association (CCGA) is comprised of dues-paying members who are politically active, focusing on policy that impacts corn producers and agriculture in general. The Colorado Corn Administrative Committee (CCAC) oversees how Colorado’s corn check-off dollars (one penny per bushel of corn produced in the state) are spent on research, market development, outreach, education and other various endeavors. See more about the work of the two organizations at CCGA.
