Chair: Julie Dominguez-Aysse (50)
The American Legion Auxiliary advocates with, and on behalf of, veterans, the military and their families. Advocacy is defined as a constituent relaying his or her ideas and opinions to governmental officials. These include the President of the United States, United States senators and representatives, state governors and legislators, mayors, county commissioners, city council members, and personnel in governmental agencies.
Advocacy succeeds when many individuals with the same goals and sentiments contact government officials and staff members to express their views. By virtue of our numbers, the more than 3 million members of The American Legion Family are a mighty force in providing for today’s needs and working toward a better future for our veterans. Because the American Legion Auxiliary represents wives, mothers, daughters, granddaughters or sisters of a veteran, and women veterans, we bring a unique perspective and voice to the public policy process.
Advocacy is not the responsibility of a few. It is the responsibility of all who care about our veterans and all Auxiliary members.
By contacting your local Congressional and also in Washington D.C., you are working to keep veterans, issues in front of legislators and strengthening our mission to service to veterans, service members and their families.
