NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS SONS OF THE AMERICAN LEGION
May 14, 2015 TO: FROM: SUBJECT:
National Officers, Detachment Commanders & Adjutants Brian J. O’Hearne, National Adjutant MEMBERSHIP TARGET DATE – 100%
“We Came Close” We came close and we achieved 94.2% membership with 337,352 members on May 13, 2015. Twelve detachments made the 100% membership target and we are very proud of these Detachments’ membership success. We are currently +7, 546 members ahead of this same 100% target date last year. All but a few Detachments transmitted membership on or before the target date and I thank you & all the Department Headquarters staff for all the hard work and transmittals received. Many Detachments came close and hopefully should achieve this membership target soon. The last membership postcard renewal notice (84,000+) was mailed on April 28, 2015 and many memberships have not yet arrived from this final renewal mailing. We ask all Detachments and Squadrons continue to mail out their own membership renewal mailing notices to their members. I know you will continue your fine efforts and work on membership for the 2015 and upcoming 2016 membership year. Our next membership target date is July 23, 2015, which will be our 105% membership target. This is our delegate membership target for delegate registration and seating during the National Convention in Baltimore, Maryland. Remember – “renewals” are the key to success. Keep going…Remember, Membership Is Everyone’s Responsibility!
