[Episcopal News Service]
Looking to spend two fabulous all-expenses-paid weeks in Minneapolis with thousands of Episcopalians next summer? Itching to be there for all the action--the hearings, the debates, the votes, the Amish cheese?
The Episcopal News Service, Convention Daily and telecommunications news teams for the Minneapolis General Convention, July 27-August 8, 2003, are seeking volunteer editors, writers, and communicators to cover the pomp and pageantry, the politics and passion, of the triennial meeting.
Previous experience with one of the news teams, or familiarity with General Convention, is very helpful--but journalistic experience in a fast-paced reporting environment is essential.
Volunteers should plan on arriving in Minneapolis on Sunday, July 27, and staying through the end of General Convention on August 8. Housing and other expenses will be paid by the respective news teams, and each team member will receive an honorarium.
Managing editor for the 2003 ENS team will be Jim DeLa, director of communications for the Diocese of Southwest Florida. Bob Williams, director of communications for the Diocese of Los Angeles, will edit the Convention Daily.
To apply for a spot on one of the news teams, please send a cover letter with resume and/or biographical information to the Office of News and Information, 815 Second Avenue, New York 10017. Please indicate specific interests as well as skills, and include telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
