How to Use This Guide

The Unit Guide, published by the American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters, is a compilation of information and best practices on a variety of topics pertinent to unit operations. The aim of the Unit Guide is to help members make informed decisions about unit operations and governance. However, adherence to a guideline does not guarantee a successful outcome. Ultimately, unit members must make their own governance and operational decisions based on the unit, department, and ALA national governing documents, and their individual judgment, knowledge, and expertise. Consult a professional parliamentarian or attorney for assistance interpreting your governing documents and state law.

The National Headquarters staff, national officers, and national chairmen disclaim all liability for the accuracy or completeness of a guideline, and disclaim all warranties, express or implied, to their incorrect use. The Unit Guide, either printed or online version, may not be complete or accurate.

Because units and departments are separately chartered and operate according to their own governing documents and the non-profit laws governing each state, this guide addresses operations from a general perspective only.

Unit Guide users are urged to seek out newer information that might impact the operational recommendations contained within a guideline. This publication's purpose is to help units locate and use the most up-to-date information from the American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters. District and/or department officers are available to assist you. The department is the final authority for units. Please contact your department office if you have questions or need assistance.

Units are also advised to seek advice from a professional parliamentarian or attorney to ensure compliance with Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised and state law.
