AFF-Nashville Advisory Board Openings

Young Professional Society – Middle Tennessee
New Wataugans Advisory Board

The New Wataugans Young Professionals Society for Middle Tennessee is a project of the Beacon Center of Tennessee and America’s Future Foundation. Both groups are non-partisan non-profits committed to advancing free markets, individual liberty, and limited government. Our members and attendees are provided with a chance to network with other likeminded peers in their city, business and thought leaders in their community, and the staff of our organizations. Our meetings will focus on providing these opportunities, as well as introducing our guests to the policies that we are advocating for in our state and city.

Advisory Board Members for the New Wataugans seek to grow our chapter, expanding knowledge of our group and growing our guest lists through promoting our chapter and its events. Advisory Board Members will also provide guidance on future chapter events, opportunities for philanthropic involvement in the community, and ongoing engagement with our members. Members of the Advisory Board serve in a voluntary capacity, but will be provided with an annual board dinner, opportunities for national travel and conferences, and networking with leaders in both sponsoring organizations.
