Training Tuesday: Welcoming New Members

The American Legion Internal Affairs & Membership Division will host its June virutal Training Tuesday on June 25 at 7 p.m. EDT. The discussion, "Welcoming New Members," will be led by Legionnaire Ventura "Ace" Tounsel who will share how to create an inviting post environment for new and prospective members. Register for the training at Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams.

Tounsel will share strategies for making all members feel valued, regardless of post conditions; address common issues like reserved seating and ensure inclusivity; provide ways to engage new members through events, websites and social media; and explore training resources like the free Online Basic Training course. We'll emphasize the importance of traditions and ceremonies in fostering belonging and provide practical tips for involving new members in programs and activities. Don't miss this opportunity to improve your post's experiences and ensure every member feels at home in The American Legion.
