CVA Regional Field Manager, Iowa

Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) believes veterans are a powerful force for driving solutions to America’s most pressing challenges. We build engaged communities of empowered veterans to amplify our unique perspectives on critical issues—from foreign policy to health care to federal spending. As part of the veteran community, we understand the meaning of service, and we remain committed to serving our fellow Americans and strengthening our country.

Concerned Veterans for America is a part of Americans for Prosperity and the Stand Together philanthropic community.

As a Regional Field Manager on the Concerned Veterans for America Iowa team, you will identify, recruit, and engage grassroots leaders in Iowa, mobilize them to take action, and drive policy reforms that open opportunities for all.

Identify activists in various parts of the state who are currently – or could become – leaders in their local communities, as elected officials or citizen organizers and motivate them to advocate for change.

Equip these local leaders to advocate for changes that are consistent with principles CVA believes in. You will do this, in part, by connecting them to the training and other resources of CVA.
