Dance/USA, the national voice for the professional field of dance, seeks a Membership Fellow to work in its membership department. The fellowship program, launched in 2012, provides an aspiring dance administrator the opportunity to connect with the national dance community, to help raise awareness of dance in America, to stay up-to-date with field-wide trends, and to provide a practical work experience.

The Membership Fellow is integral to the operations of Dance/USA’s Membership Department. Responsibilities include member communication, serving as point-of-contact for special projects within the Department, and assisting the Director of Member Services in hiring a fall intern.

The Membership Fellow will work 25 hours per week for the first two months and 30-40 hours per week for the last 4 months, for a total of 30 weeks. In return, the Fellow will receive:

• A stipend of $6,000, including a $20/week travel subsidy, evenly divided over the course of the fellowship.
• A two year complimentary Dance/USA individual or student membership.
• Opportunity to attend the 2013 Dance/USA Annual Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
