Membership Barometer
A Special Message From President Pam:
Hello amazing ALA members!
I know the year is on the downhill, which I can’t believe, but now more than ever we need to work hard to renew those that have not renewed and recruit those new members as well! Break down your department membership numbers for each District/County and Units. It is much less intimidating than saying the huge number the Department needs!
I believe in all of you and I know reaching goal is something you all can do! With Tracy and her team, you have wonderful knowledgeable assistance. Please work hard to focus on our American Legion Family and get those members!
I have total faith in all of you,
President Pam Ray
Mission Driven and Family Focused
