Sons of The American Legion
Detachment of Maryland
It is an exciting time to serve as the Membership Chairman for the Detachment of Maryland and I am looking forward to the challenge. This past year the Detachment surpassed 17,000 members and we exceeded our goal of 90 percent retention. I have no doubts that together we can continue this trend and again set new records.
The health of our organization begins with our membership, but it is more than just a number and renewing our dues each year. We should all strive to get involved in some way, in honor of the Veteran who made us eligible. It is also important that we all do our part in helping to create an atmosphere that everyone wants to be part of.
At our first DEC Meeting in August, I will be announcing our membership theme for the 2024-2025 membership year. This year will again include a challenge, with one added addition. Not only will our four regions compete, but there will be opportunity for individual Squadrons to compete in a challenge.
I would like to remind everyone that our membership year runs July 1st – June 30th the following year. 2024 membership cards expire December 31, 2024. Six months passes quickly so be sure to renew as soon as possible.
I look forward to working with you all this year.
