The Departments of Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wisconsin will receive a plaque on the 105th National Convention stage in New Orleans.
The American Legion's Consolidated Post Report (CPR) for the 2023-2024 membership year was due to National Headquarters by July 1. To date, 8,023 of the 11,953 American Legion posts submitted a CPR – an average completion rate of 70.5%. The goal of The American Legion is 100% post reporting.
Congratulations to the 10 American Legion departments that achieved 100% post reporting – Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wisconsin. Each department will receive a plaque on the 105th National Convention stage in New Orleans.
Although the deadline to submit the CPR and the Consolidated Squadron Report for award consideration at national convention has passed, posts and squadrons can continue to submit these reports until Sept. 15. For the Sons, 1914 of the 5,736 squadrons have submitted a CSR for a 34% completion rate.
When The American Legion national commander testifies before Congress, the Consolidated Post Report data is used to provide numerical data of what the collective American Legion is doing. The Federal Charter requires the national organization to report to Congress on the activities of the corporation during the prior calendar year. The CPR is essential in collecting the data to compile this report to Congress.
Every post is doing something in their community. It's through the CPR that we knew that 293,498 veterans were reached through Buddy Checks between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. It is important that the post leadership report what they are doing to show our impact. The CPR and CSR can be processed and submitted via myLegion.org. You also can send them to mssforms@legion.org.
Department of Nebraska Adjutant David Salak shares how they achieved 100% reporting.
