Military Family Advisory Network Releases Survey Findings, Recommendations
WASHINGTON (PRWEB) December 31, 2014 -- On Monday, Jan. 12, the Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN) will release its report based on results from the Military Support Programming Survey 2014, the first survey to ask military family members directly what resources they find most valuable. The findings and the accompanying report detail MFAN’s research into the services available to military families, the perceived quality of these programs, and where there are gaps between military family needs and resources offered.
The report also includes recommendations that MFAN developed based on the more than 17,000 unique responses from more than 1,500 participants, recommendations intended to inform forthcoming policy and budgetary decisions affecting military families. The Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, established by Congress’ National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 to evaluate service member compensation and benefit structures, will consider MFAN’s findings and recommendations for its own report, due out in February 2015.
