Membership Continues
From Tracy Kinnick, ALA National Membership Chair
The countdown to National Convention has begun. It amazes me how quickly this year has gone by with our focus of Mission Driven and Family Focused.
Although administration is about to change, our membership year remains the same Jan to Dec, let’s continue to focus on capturing the renewals for the 2026 year and don’t forget about new members.
Do not hold onto new members up to September to get them in for 2027, we do not want them to miss out on valuable benefits that are available with membership in The American Legion Auxiliary. Just kindly explain they will start seeing renewal notices, the benefits of joining now, and just to renew before Dec 31st.
On a different note, whoa those Southern Division Bisons, will you make that 100% before National Convention. We see you were watching. Central Eagles and Eastern Roses remain neck and neck.
Keep up the amazing work you are all doing each and every day!

As a friendly reminder: choose the renewal membership option that works best for you and your schedule — you don’t need to wait until December 31st to complete your renewal.
Renew online: The fastest and easiest way is to visit www.alaforveterans.org, log into your account, and pay your dues. If you’ve never logged in before, you can create an account using your membership ID.
Renew by phone: Call ALA National Headquarters at 317-569-4570 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET) and have your member ID ready.
Renew with your local unit: Pay your dues directly to your Unit.
Now is the perfect time to recommit to our shared mission. Your membership is the backbone of our ability to advocate for veterans and serve our communities.
Let’s continue to build on our powerful ALA legacy together.
