In New York City
A national staff in New York City supports the work of the campus network. There are usually five or six individuals in the office. Currently, there is a national director (Taylor Jo Isenberg) who is largely in charge of the growth and development of the network. The field director (Winston Lofton) and deputy field director (Joelle Gamble) manage the regional staffers, part-time paid students. The policy director (Alan Smith) and deputy policy director (Lydia Bowers) are in charge of policy initiatives, and legislative work as well as managing a team of senior fellows, also full-time students that are paid for part-time work. The Chapter Services Coordinator (Dante Barry) runs the Summer Academy program. The national staff oversees publications, the development of the alumni network, and provides opportunities for membership to participate in writers' conferences and initiatives. During the summer, the Roosevelt Academy (the Campus Network's major internship program) runs for ten weeks and places students in DC organizations and at various organizations within the city of Chicago and New York City. The program features a variety of presentations from students who have published work in the 10 Ideas series and the Roosevelt Review, and is the launching ground for the Institution's policy agenda for the upcoming year.
