Please see our new and improved Membership Reports. Here you can track your NEW and RENEW Membership. This has been a request from several of you so you may track your progress more efficiently. Thank you John Jennings for integrating this to our Reports. You asked for it, now use it to help you. Our Focus this year must be Retention and Renewals. Retention comes from past years Squadron Rosters. Renewals come from last year's Squadron Roster. Make sure you use all the tools you have to make a successful year. Ask for help before things get out of hand. No Excuses for ZERO Squadrons after they have been installed!! District Officers this is you to make sure those installed are paid up! Not Expensive and not hard to accomplish! Area Vice Commanders don't let this become a problem. If a Squadron is stagnant and not sending in membership or you don't hear from them, find out why and address the problem IMMEDIATELY!!! Make sure the Squadrons are turning in the reports needed in a timely manner. If they haven't, print a copy and make a visit to find out why! Let's have a great year. We need to start off strong and keep at it. Cards are in and will be mailed ASAP. No excuses now for getting early membership Renewals for 2027. You'll have your cards. We had a good Membership Committee Meeting this past Wednesday so Committee Members(AREA VICE COMMANDERS), make sure you let your District Officers know what we discussed and make sure they understand. This way District Officers can explain to the Squadrons what's going on and what we expect. NO EXCUSES!!! COMMUNICATION will be our main focus this year then Retention and Renewals. We know we are good at Recruiting but are we good at recruiting members that are an asset to our Squadrons? Make that a priority. It will only help your Squadrons be better. Make sure you engage with your membership, don't just pass them at the barstool, Get them to help. Even a little help goes a long way in making them feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Most of you officers know and feel the importance and need for the Sons of The American Legion and the Legion Family are to our Community and Veterans. Instill it in others to make them feel as proud as you do.
