Dear Name of Contact,

I am writing in application for the RCE Project Coordinator position being offered by the National

Geographic Society, as advertised on the Insider. I am a 2005 college graduate currently working as the intern

for the Center for Sustainable Destinations (CSD), at the Society. Prior to this position I was employed by

SRA International, Inc., as an Environmental Policy Analyst on the EPA’s land use programs (including work

on the Brownfields, Superfund, and Land Revitalization projects). I am applying for the position of Project

Coordinator because I believe it is a position for which I am well-suited, given the background I have gained

working with you in the intern position and my strong interest in and commitment to the CSD geotourism

program.

After spending almost a year gaining experience as a policy analyst working with SRA International, I left the

company in September in order to move to National Geographic. I did so with the intention of enhancing the

breadth and depth of my background in conservation and sustainable development, gaining experience in

program and project coordination within a dynamic and challenging work environment, and strengthening

my writing and communications skills. During my time at the Geographic I believe I have succeeded in each

of these pursuits, and have taken the opportunity to engage myself fully in both the work of the Center for

Sustainable Destinations and the National Geographic Society at large.

It is my desire at this time to continue to work with the Center as a full member of the staff so that I may

contribute more fully to CSD’s mission and programmatic development, as well as enhancing and expanding

my commitment to the program. I’ve truly enjoyed the experiences I’ve had and projects on which I’ve

worked since beginning as an intern at National Geographic, and hope that my continuing enthusiasm for

and interest in working towards sustainable destinations will make me a strong candidate for the Project

Coordinator position.

Should you wish to contact me I can be reached at email address or at phone number. Thank you very

much for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

NAME
