Weekly Seminar Series for Interns
Internship programs at the National Academy of Social Insurance were established nearly 30 years ago to fulfill the vision of founder, Robert M. Ball, and other founding board members. The aim is to help develop the next generation of social insurance leaders.
Students in the Academy's summer internship programs participate in weekly seminars, policy forums, and the annual Robert M. Ball Award banquet. These experiences allow students to interact with current leaders in the field. Seminars are classroom-style presentations geared towards deepening interns’ understanding of current issues in social insurance.
Academy Members, Associate Members, internship partners, and young professionals and interns from other organizations were invited to attend the 2019 weekly seminars (space permitting). Our schedule for 2019 features the following speakers:
