The Leader We Are Looking For · AAHF depends heavily on skilled volunteers. The successful candidate must be able to lead through competence, respect, humility, preparation, and personal example. · We are looking for someone who enjoys teaching and mentoring, values volunteer expertise, creates meaningful work for others, and understands that building a capable team is more important than trying to do everything personally. · The ideal candidate will also demonstrate strong financial judgment, transparency in vendor decisions, and responsible stewardship of Foundation resources. Why AAHF? This role offers something a traditional corporate maintenance position cannot. You will help keep historic Army aircraft flying, honor veterans, engage communities, preserve an important part of aviation history, and inspire young people to pursue aviation careers. For the right person, this is more than a maintenance job. It is an opportunity to continue serving Army Aviation in a meaningful way. AAHF is an equal opportunity employer.
