Mid-Semester Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work in the Public Policy Office of the YMCA of the USA, which includes the Government Relations department, Health Partnerships and Policy, Youth Development Partnerships and Policy, and Youth and Government Programs. The Y is non-governmental, nonprofit organization, but much of the work I see connects to the government in regards to lobbying and funding. My specific position focuses on nonpartisan voter registration efforts across the United States leading into 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Y as an organization operates at every level, with local branches (gym and swims) that we most commonly associate with the Y, to state affiliations, finally to the overarching YMCA of the USA. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed observing nonprofit operations at a national level, as my previous experience has been almost exclusively state and locally focused.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an organization, the Y works with policy in all branches of government, but I personally see the most interaction from my office with legislators and executive agencies. I specifically am doing work with the Iowa Secretary of State\u2019s office.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would describe the Y operations as largely outcome oriented. I am working on voter registrations and am measuring the success of those efforts based on the number of newly registered voters we have at the end of each cycle. Outside of my position many others in the office are advocacy focused and spend much of their time lobbying and interacting with other organizations to push their messages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things about the Y movement is that everyone involved is centralized behind the same missions statement: To promote healthy body, mind, and spirit for all. I see this translated into organizational goals because the overarching movement goals are to promote youth development, healthy living and inclusivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I work as the Youth Voter Registration Coordinator, which is a position that exists under our Shared Services Resource Coordinator, who connects multiple states and programs through the Y.\u00a0 As far as power structure for the rest of the office, the entire office includes the Government Relations department, which includes Youth Development and Healthy Living Partnerships. There is\u00a0 \u2018hierarchy\u2019 but those in positions of power stress the importance of an interconnected community.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still in the process of finding my place in the office, but I am confident that by the end of my internship I will feel like more of a member of the team. My job requires a lof of hands on work and calls, so I sometimes find myself siloed in a conference room for log periods of time, but it\u2019s been really exciting to get to know the rest of the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My daily duties include checking emails and corresponding with teachers who are planning voter registration events in their schools. Often I will have conference calls or correspondence with other members of our Voter Registration Partner team. One big consistent project I have is school outreach, which means researching schools in target counties and inviting them to hold voter registration events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far I am still excited and grateful to have this internship. It\u2019s a huge time commitment but I\u2019ve really enjoyed the office environment and working for a cause that I am so passionate about. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Leadership 362<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflection 1: Does the Leader-Member Exchange Theory help account for your internship office dynamics? If yes, how? If no, which other theory captures it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I initially read about the Leader-Member Exchange Theory I did not make any connections to my own office. From a big picture perspective, everyone within the office appears to be on equal footing with supervisors and managers. However, when I look at my department specifically, I can see multiple ways that the Leader Member Exchange Theory is relevant to my office and internship experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, it is important to note that my \u2018department\u2019 consists of myself, my supervisor, and one other intern. While my position is seen as a job rather than simply an internship, I see myself on the same organizational level as my fellow intern, and we both report to Derek, our supervisor. The way I see the Leader-Member Exchange theory manifest in my department is in the way that Derek treats me as opposed to how he treats the other intern. It is clear that I am trusted far more than the other intern and am given more responsibility and freedom in my day-to-day activities. There are many reasons that account for this, and the most prevalent is that I have known Derek for nearly seven years and have worked with him on many projects, including Youth and Government as a presiding officer, service trips through our youth and government program, and a previous (but far less time consuming) internship my freshman year. Throughout these years I have shown my commitment and dedication and as a result, Derek can trust me to accomplish tasks and take on projects without aggressive supervision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the distinctions between myself and my fellow intern speak to why he is given less responsibility than I am. Specifically, he is younger and has no previous internship experience, so this opportunity for him is about becoming accustomed to professional environments, which is something that I have already done. That isn\u2019t to say that he isn\u2019t a valuable member of the team, but his experience means that it has taken more time for him to feel comfortable taking on tasks and responsibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To expand the application of the Leader-Member Exchange theory to my entire office, I don\u2019t see it as prevalently as I see it demonstrated in my department. There are many factors that could account for this, but I believe it is because every person in the office has very different projects and responsibilities, so it is difficult to distinguish our supervisors treatment based on assignments and responsibilities. However, I do recognize that our supervisor, Neil, is extremely focused on maintaining a positive relationship with every member of his office, and goes out of his way to check in with each of us, including the interns, every day, which speaks to his leadership skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflection 2: What are the differences and similarities between Northouse\u2019s Adaptive Leadership (Chapter 9) and your office experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fortunately throughout my internship experience so far I have been able to see adaptive leadership on many levels, including through my team, my department, and by my own actions as a leader.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were a few instances where we as a Voter Registration Coordination team had to utilize adaptive leadership. The first was in our event planning process. We spent most of September planning a Youth Summit in Iowa, which needed to be rescheduled when no schools, students, or teachers signed up to attend. At the rescheduled date attendance was dismal and we as a team realized that we needed to improve our outreach strategy. As a result we re-worded our outreach communications as well as changed some internal operating strategies and decided to focus more on tangible voter registrations rather than events. This strategy proved to be successful and we saw a drastic increase in communication with schools and voter registration efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At a smaller level, my department, which only has three people, saw adaptive leadership in many ways. One way I was able to practice adaptive leadership was by serving as a mentor to my fellow intern, Ian, who is a freshman at American. Initially, Iam saw me as a supervisor and would ask for my approval on things like when he could leave or if he had done enough work. After reestablishing our relationship as colleagues and peers rather than supervisor and subordinate, I found it easy to give him guidance without feeling the need to assert any sort of authority over him. Working with Ian was a really significant exercise in adaptive leadership because he often has less clear expectations in his work that I did, and looked to me for guidance, especially when our supervisor was traveling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, I faced some familial issues while working, and working through those struggles while still trying to do the best job I possibly could taught me the importance of self-care and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I was extremely fortunate to have a supervisor who was accommodating and trusted me enough to set my priorities and complete necessary assignments without taking on too much.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflection 3: What are the differences and similarities between Northouse\u2019s Team Leadership (Chapter 14) and your experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Team leadership seems to be the most prevalent leadership style for my office. I see this as the case because although every member of the office seems to have a very specific job including very specific tasks, the interconnectedness of the office is palpable. While the most obvious leadership team interactions happen within departments, there seems to be a large amount of overlap between missions, goals, and assignments. That makes sense to me given that the mission of the Y is so pervasive throughout all of the work we do. It feels very empowering to know that I am connected to everyone around me based on our values and goals for our work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within my specific department, I see Team Leadership through my interactions with my supervisor, Derek, and the members of our team of partners from other organizations including When We All Vote, Inspire2Vote, and the Iowa Secretary of State. My supervisor typically takes on a hands off approach until there appears to be a need for him to become involved, and provides myself and the other intern with a space to do our work however we see as most efficiently. As a result both myself and the other intern have become more confident in our ability to work on projects and provide deliverables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within my group of partners the team style of leadership manifests differently. The team of partners is a particularly interesting leadership experience because we are all coordinating from different parts of the country. I am in DC, while my colleagues are based in Richmond, Illinois, and Iowa. I have particularly grown in my understanding that working with a group of people in different regions and time zones requires a bit more coordination than simply calling a conference room meeting for the next hour. Additionally, working with a team made up of people from all different organizations has helped me to navigate and strange or unfamiliar power dynamics. In particular, I felt some tension when the group first started to come together because there was no real sense of hierarchy or organization, which is something that I have come to expect in the workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall I find team leadership to be one of the most intriguing leadership styles because someone who excels at team leadership has the potential to see the benefits in every aspect of their office.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

      Check-In Assignment Three: Organization Goals<\/b><\/p>\n

      Internship Seminar<\/p>\n

      Name: __Nancy LoGuidice___ Date:__Nov 8 2019___<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Name of office\/organization<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I am interning in the Government Relations office of the YMCA of the USA as their Youth Voter Registration Coordinator for 2019-2020.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What are the political goals of your office\/organization?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The political goals of the Y revolve around promoting healthy living for the mind, body and spirit by empowering people and providing support for those in need.<\/p>\n

          3. Is there internal consensus within your organization about its political goals?<\/p>\n

          Yes, particularly because the Y is such a massive international band, it is imperative that everyone in the movement and in the department are on the same page about what we do and why we do it.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Who is the most influential in your organization in setting the political goals?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The YMCA has a Board of Directors who are responsible for setting the agenda with input from all involved in the Y movement.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Who are your organizations’ principal political opponents and allies? Describe the nature of this opposition and alliance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              The Y has many ‘congressional champions’ who consistently support the Y movement through legislation and advocacy. I don’t think we have many specific forces of opposition, but there are many organizations with similar goals to ours and sometimes it is difficult to convince those in power that the Y is the most deserving of time and resources. Overall, the Y is a beloved organization and brand and fortunately the positive association that many people have of us helps us to achieve many of our goals.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. What are the biggest political worries of your organization?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Because the Y is such a large movement there are many departments focusing on many different issues at once. My particular department is focused on youth voice and ability to participate in the political process. Additionally the general overarching theme of apathy and lack of civic participation is one that myself and my colleagues worry about often.<\/p>\n

                8. Who funds your organization and what particular problems does that present for your organization’s activities?<\/p>\n

                The YMCA is a nonprofit organization and is funded through grants and donations. I haven’t noticed many issues in terms of stipulations attached to funding, however that might be far above my pay grade. The largest issue that I have seen is the common one for most non profits: not enough money in general. As a result many people have to find creative solutions to lack of resources, and find the best ways to accomplish their goals with a limited budget.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                Check-In Assignment Four: Your Own Goals, academic and professional<\/p>\n

                Internship Seminar<\/p>\n

                Name: __Nancy LoGuidice_______\u00a0\u00a0 Date:___December 11th 2019______<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Name of Organization<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  YMCA of the USA Youth and Government Programs<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. List at least 2\u00a0academic goals<\/i>\u00a0that you would like to set for yourself during this internship.\u00a0 Make sure that the goals are\u00a0specific,\u00a0measurable\u00a0and\u00a0realistic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    I would like to end the semester with a GPA that is comparable to my any of my previous semester’s GPA. That is, I would like to be able to say that while interning 3 full days a week as well as taking 17 credits, my academics remained a priority and I was able to stay on academic track.<\/p>\n

                    My second academic goal is that I would like to connect leadership theory to the real experiences I have had in my internship, and use our studies to guide my adaptation to the workforce.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. For each academic goal, explain how you will measure it.\u00a0 That is, at the end of your internship, by what criteria will you decide that you have achieved your goal?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      For my first goal, I will measure my success based on where I end the semester in terms of GPA, and whether I feel like I was able to maintain a healthy work\/academic balance.<\/p>\n

                      For my second goal, I will measure that based on my reflections and final paper, and see how I am able to apply the tangible experiences of my internship to the concepts studied within this course.<\/p>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. For each academic goal, list at least one specific method by which you intend to achieve it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        One specific method I intend to use to achieve my academic goal of maintaining my GPA is to utilize the study hours offered by my sorority’s academic excellence committee. Having built in time to dedicate to my studies is beneficial to me in establishing structure as well as some social interaction.<\/p>\n

                        For my second academic goal, I will do my best to write a thorough and detailed final assessment that connects class concepts to my experience as an intern.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. List at least 2\u00a0professional goals<\/i>\u00a0that you would like to set for yourself during this internship.\u00a0 Make sure that the goals are\u00a0specific,\u00a0measurable\u00a0and\u00a0realistic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          One professional goal that I would like to set for myself for the duration of my internship is to improve my social media skills. Currently my supervisor oversees all of our social media but has indicated that he might want to give me more responsibility in terms of monitoring and posting. I do not currently consider myself very social media savvy, but I think it’s extremely important to build the Y brand, especially among young people. I would like to feel confident in my ability to run and post on social media without needing consistent validation or oversight.<\/p>\n

                          My second professional goal is to connect with other members of the office that work in different departments and areas from my own, and learn more about the operations of the government relations department.<\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. For each professional goal, explain how you will measure it.\u00a0 That is, at when your internship is over, by what criteria will you decide that you have achieved your goal?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            I will measure my proficiency in social media by the number of posts I send as well as insights into our following and interactions.<\/p>\n

                            I will measure my knowledge and understanding of office operations by testing my knowledge of what each staff member outside of my department focuses on, and any specific projects they are prioritizing.<\/p>\n

                             <\/p>\n

                              \n
                            1. For each professional goal, list at least one specific method by which you intend to achieve it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                              For my first goal, I will use our branded social media more often and study insights to see how we can grow our following. Additionally, I would like to regularly post on instagram, twitter, and possibly Tik Tok to keep and grow our support base.<\/p>\n
