To build stronger Posts, we have to build stronger leaders. We believe effective leadership development happens in two buckets: Leadership Knowledge—the skills to lead people—and Legion Knowledge—the understanding to lead a Post well.
During the first half of the day, we'll focus on Leadership Knowledge— helping you develop your leadership skills in communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leading volunteers.
During the second half, we'll build your Legion Knowledge by teaching the foundations of how a successful Post operates, including officer roles, the Constitution & Bylaws, parliamentary procedure, and conducting effective meetings.
Whether you're a current officer, an aspiring leader, or simply want to become a more informed Legionnaire, this session provides the foundational knowledge every Legionnaire should have.
After attending this training, you will:
• Discover what effective leadership looks like in today's American Legion.
• Have the ability to motivate others, solve problems, and lead with purpose.
• Realize that leadership is about influence—not titles.
• Start to create a culture of engagement, accountability, and shared ownership within your Post.
