Sons of The American Legion
Detachment of Maryland
Membership is the lifeblood of this organization and I look forward to serving as the Detachment membership chairperson for the 2022-2023 year.
I plan to roll out the new membership plan at our first DEC meeting on September 10, 2022. Included in this plan will be my theme for the year that involves several incentives based on performance to our first responders in the state of Maryland.
I expect to have our Detachment membership totals back to our Pre COVID years and doing so will require our Regional Commanders, Regional 1st Vice Commanders and DEC men to be involved with executing the membership plan.
I look forward to seeing everyone at our next DEC meeting on September 10th, 2022,
Joe Lohman
Membership Chairman
