      The American Legion Auxiliary's National Convention can be likened to both a political party convention and a family reunion. Auxiliary members from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, together with members of The American Legion and the Sons of The American Legion, meet annually to set national priorities to guide their organizations in the coming year.

  • National Meetings

    • national meeting imageWhile we embrace the wonders of technology and the virtual world, we still believe in the value of meeting with one another face-to-face. A special kind of energy occurs when people share ideas, challenges, and successes in person that simply can’t be replicated. During the year, we provide American Legion Auxiliary members with several opportunities to convene and converse with other members from across the country. Agendas run the gamut from governance to giving and resolutions to recruitment. Check out the list of national meetings below, and plan to attend one yourself soon!
