(NAFB.com) – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has opened applications for summer 2026 semester internships in the association’s Colorado headquarters and Washington, D.C. office. Internships are available for public policy, and meetings and events. “Since 1898, NCBA has been the trusted leader and definitive voice of the U.S. cattle and beef industry,” said NCBA President-Elect Gene Copenhaver. “NCBA interns directly support the critical work of this association and make sure that our farming and ranching legacy continues into the future, and I strongly encourage young people to get a jump start on their careers.” Public policy interns support NCBA’s Government Affairs Team and will learn more about lobbying, government relations, and advocacy on behalf of the beef industry. The Management and Events interns will learn how to manage large-scale conventions and trade shows, in addition to the logistics behind smaller meetings and conferences.
