What Is a Twitter Chat?
A Twitter chat is like a meeting on Twitter; it has a specific discussion topic and a scheduled start time. Using the hashtag #MilCents at the end of each tweet, MFAN will ask questions to a group of financial experts.
The Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN), a national nonprofit that serves military and veteran families, is hiring a skilled, agile, detail-oriented professional to manage our advisory board and local engagement efforts.
The advisory board is MFAN’s hallmark program, it convenes leaders and influencers in the military family community—from across the country—to discuss the challenges families are facing, and also make sure that military families are connected to the resources available. It was at the advisory board meetings that MFAN’s work on topics like military housing and food insecurity began. A successful candidate will be a blend of visionary, strategist, project manager, communicator, and doer. This role requires someone who is comfortable leading group discussions around complex topics, building consensus, problem-solving, and the innate ability to establish connections with those we serve.

This is a forward-facing role with growth potential.
We are looking for someone with a “can-do” attitude who has a balance of creativity, problem-solving skills, polish, and project management experience.
