Advancing The Line – Tampa

Join Zack A Knight in a business networking conversation at Centre Club where we feature veterans of the local community that are making an impact as we all come together in one place to build community and business. Each of these events are open to the public, veteran and non-veteran alike. We encourage you to show up and show your support for the local veteran that is being highlighted this month!

This month we are featuring Jodi Burns, Executive Director of Special Forces Charitable Trust:

Jodi has more than a decade of experience in developing and directing a large-scale resilience program for elite, high-performing military personnel and their families here in the U.S. and abroad. While serving as Director of Field Operations for a government contractor, Jodi was the liaison for the program, working in collaboration with military leadership to develop effective, meaningful content in support of SOF Families. Most recently, Burns was SFCT’s Director of Programs where she excelled in implementing what is now the SFCT’s signature program, Mettle & Moxie. As a SOF Spouse of over 20 years, while raising two children, she knows intimately the challenges Special Forces Soldiers and their Families face through multiple deployments.
