This summer interning with the Animal Ag Alliance has been an invaluable experience. When I first decided agricultural communications was the career for me, my main goal was to help bridge the communication gap between farmers and the general public, and that is precisely what the team here at the Alliance is doing. They are incredibly passionate about the animal agriculture industry and have helped me to become a better communicator within this field.

Interning with Animal Agriculture Alliance was a phenomenal experience. The team allowed me to grow confidently in the areas that I was interested in through their target initiatives and issues. I gained experience in legislative and media tracking, writing reports, blogs, press releases, social media management and so much more. As an intern, I felt genuinely valued as a team member. This experience made me more confident in my personal and professional skills and abilities. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone passionate about animal agriculture.

The Animal Ag Alliance has provided me with the tools and connections necessary to be successful as a young professional in the agricultural sector. There is no limit to the experience gained as a communications intern! From legislative tracking and social media management to writing blogs and farm security resources, your contributions are highly valued by the Alliance and its members. I am beyond grateful for my time spent with the Alliance team and thankful that I am now transitioning to a role with a company that I connected with at the Alliance’s annual Stakeholders Summit!

Interning with the Animal Agriculture Alliance has been an incredible experience getting to work with some of the best within the agriculture community. The Alliance team gave me the room and opportunity to grow both personally and professionally through the many initiatives and issues they focus on to connect, engage, and protect animal agriculture. I learned a lot, developed my skills immensely, and got to work on issues and projects that let me express my passion for the animal agriculture community. I cannot recommend this internship program enough!

The Animal Agriculture Alliance is wonderful to work with. They are responsive to emails, well-spoken, and knowledgeable in the field as an advocate for animal agriculture. The presentation was spot on and was able to answer all questions thoroughly. I would strongly recommend the Alliance for any speaker needs.

You had enthusiasm, mastery of the subject matter and were very articulate. You made me proud to be a board member and a sponsor of such a fine organization doing such important work.

I appreciate that you presented in a very engaging and authoritative way and I think our guests left the meeting with a much better understanding of the scope of animal activist activity – particularly outside of our own world here in Florida.

Your presentation received high praise and great feedback. It is important that Farm Bureau members know they have amazing advocates in the industry.

It well-represented the range of perspectives on sustainability from across the value chain, from small to large scale producers, input suppliers and retailers, etc.
