A Message from the Oversight Committee

The “A New Day is Dawning” event in Washington, D.C. was a great success. It met our goal of providing members at all levels of the American Legion Auxiliary with an opportunity to understand the three new identified goals presented to our board, the National Executive Committee, for approval.  Through a variety of activities and presentations, participants had an opportunity to express their concerns, their ideas, their interest and their recognition of the need for change if we are to remain a relevant and viable organization through the accomplishment of our mission.

Three Additional Goals Approved Under Strategic Plan
After the “A New Day is Dawning” event, the National Executive Committee considered the updated strategic plan for the ALA and enthusiastically embraced it by their overwhelming approval on March 30, 2008. The three new goals identified by the 2007 Strategic Planning Retreat group which were added to the strategic plan are as follows:

Goal 1 - Develop Unit and Department Operational Standards and Training
Goal 2 - Leverage Technology to Improve Operations and Communications
Goal 3 - Become the Clearinghouse for Information, Programs and Services
