Regional Contacts

The American Legion is broken down into regions based on the five elected national vice commanders. A regional liaison from the Internal Affairs & Membership Division is assigned to each region to assist people with their questions. These questions can be regarding procedures, processes and programs within The American Legion, how to start a new post or revitalize an existing one or general inquiries.
