Thank you for your Interest in Serving on a National Committee

Auxiliary programs work because of the dedicated volunteers who step up and fill the numerous roles required to serve the needs of our veterans, active duty military, their families, and our members. Whether volunteering at a local VA hospital, participating in a department day of service, or chairing a national committee, each member is critical to the success of our organization. The American Legion Auxiliary is looking for the next generation of leaders to help us continue our work towards a century of service. Committee members are expected to contribute their time, talent and treasure, helping the ALA to positively advance our mission and member experience.

The majority of our national appointments require attendance at one to three national meetings per year and typically three to five conference calls with committee members and volunteers.
