Opening for Summer Interns to Update the Federation's Websites/Database and/or increase our social media presence The Fairfax Federation would like to redesign its membership database and website. If you know students with the ability to help us with this effort and who would like to volunteer as an intern over the summer months, please have them contact the Federation Webmaster. Responses by 30 June would be appreciated. You are encourage to forward this request to those who you think are qualified and interested. The database structure redesign would entail organizing the membership records by organization with attributes assignable to membership organizations, individual representatives of the member organizations, and financial reports of yearly membership activity. The website structure redesign would entail refreshing our current site with the aim of organizing the data therein contained so that it is more logically presented and easily maintained. Increasing our social media presence would involve coordinating the Federation presence on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter. Intern applicants should submit examples of their current efforts.
