82 years ago, the country’s first African-American Marines were recruited at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, NC. The City of Jacksonville celebrated their bravery at en event honoring the legacy of the Marines as well as nine of the original Montford Point United States Marine Corps. Why is this important? Every day, we enjoy freedoms that were hard-won by brave men and women. Outside of Veterans Day and Memorial Day, how often do we take a moment to honor their service and recognize the milestones that shaped our history? How often do brands speak to the military community to form deeper relationships? When brands take the time to acknowledge military service or milestones, they not only show respect but also build trust and loyalty within this unique consumer segment. Whether it’s a simple social media effort or a dedicated campaign, brands have an opportunity to connect with the military in a meaningful way. #MilitaryMarketing #Military #MarketingStrategy #MilitaryAppreciation

"Child care accessibility, identified as a problem back in the Army’s 1990 analysis and raised as a key recommendation in the new Quality of Life Panel report, is also getting a closer look." Go ahead and take a look at that MOAA article (yes I ctrl+f for child care before reading any articles) One of the biggest hurdles in the type of advocacy that we do through Operation Child Care Project is the additional burden of explaining why there is a problem. Organizations that help homeless veterans find housing don't have to explain why veteran homelessness is an issue; it is understood. Organizations that set up food boxes/pantries/support don't have to explain why hungry soldiers are an issue; it is understood. VSO organizations focused on increasing healthcare access to disabled veterans don't have to explain why they need healthcare; it is understood. Child care touches everything. We see it affect enlisted and officer families and their ability to serve their country and their families. We see it as a primary barrier to transitioning veterans who find themselves without assistance programs to close the gap with their new salary. The list of situations is endless. It has been highlighted since the 1990s, and we are still educating on its impact. One thing I am grateful for is that the conversations I am having today are much different than the ones I was having seven years ago. When I bring up childcare policy considerations, I am no longer redirected to "ask the local FRG how they can help." I see more organizations like Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and Military Family Advisory Network digging in on what needs to change to fit our modern families. The conversations with families will never get easier, but the barriers to advocating for them are getting smaller.

“You can’t get ahead if you’re always starting over." - Jennifer Goodale. Great article expressing the struggle of military spouses creating and sustaining their own careers. Well done, Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). I'd like to highlight an additional valuable resource: the FourBlock Military Spouse Career Readiness program. Although it doesn't focus on policy or legislation, this program empowers military spouses by helping them define their career visions and build the necessary toolkit to achieve their goals. Often, military spouses put their own aspirations on hold to support the military's needs, leading to a loss of personal identity. The collaboration with Prepare to Launch U reignites their confidence, helps them recognize their talents, and equips them to advocate for themselves in the workplace. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gbex3bBu #MilitarySpouses #MilitarySpouseEmployment

🍋🍋🍋🫵🏼⚙️⚙️⚙️👻©️ “ 1. In our current economic landscape, how prepared are leaders to reallocate resources to strengthen our globally competitive nonprofit sector, particularly to prevent minor setbacks from overshadowing mission achievements in favor of revenue? (This reallocation is essential as entities like Veterans Affairs aim to establish new growth benchmarks.) 2. What strategies can we employ to encourage participation in this initiative, ensuring that established veterans' organizations not only maintain their competitive advantage but that new organizations also gain improved accountability and access? 3. Given the changing dynamics among younger veterans, who may view traditional social structures as outdated and are instead focused on high achievement, how do we navigate the challenges posed by the scarcity of human capital and the dominance of $2 trillion monopolies in capital markets? (This issue is particularly pressing for newcomers who face lengthy waits for assistance, compounded by a mental health narrative that seems more aspirational than realistic.)” #innovation: 38,673,144 followers #management: 35,871,964 followers #digitalmarketing: 27,291,348 followers #technology: 26,347,886 followers #creativity: 25,114,957 followers #futurism: 23,402,629 followers #startups: 21,168,624 followers #marketing: 20,304,916 followers #socialmedia: 19,634,079 followers #socialnetworking: 18,978,383 followers 555. https://lnkd.in/gZ-yZfj7 👻👻👻 🤭 The iQ and eQ two page word play test.

Every #MemorialDay, we honor the bravery of those who served our nation. The ALS Network (formerly ALS Association Golden West Chapter) deeply appreciates our military heroes and their families, especially those battling #ALS.

My most vivid and most painful memory in 23 years in the US occurred on this day 23 years ago. We lost too many innocent families that day. And so many more since then - brave, selfless people who sacrificed their life so we wouldn't have another 9/11. We cannot be safe without military families. As we remember and mourn those who we have lost today, please consider expressing gratitude to military families who sacrifice every day to keep us safe. Here are some options... 1. Thank them for their service 2. Ask them how we can express our gratitude 3. Volunteer in organizations that support military families Help members of military families build fulfilling careers in the civillian sector... 4. Offer free training 5. Conduct mock interviews 6. Offer mentoring 7. Help with job hunting 8. Consider for internships / apprenticeships 9. Offer jobs 10. Brag about how awesome they are from the rooftops Never forget 9/11. Never forget who sacrifices every day since so we don't have another 9/11.
