2003 National Leadership and Information Conference

Mission Statement: To provide an effective “Train the Trainer” venue to inform, educate, train, motivate, and share organizational objectives of our programs for current and future district/county leaders in order for them to develop and revitalize The American Legion, SAL, and Auxiliary programs for Posts, Squadrons and Units.

Targeted Audience: District and County officers and program chair(s) and volunteers working programs in Americanism, Auxiliary, Children & Youth, Legislative, Membership, Public Relations, SAL, and Veterans Affairs at all levels.

The 2003 agenda/format has been expanded as well as condensed. The expansion is the result of adding additional training on Friday afternoon. The compression is the result of moving the Sunday activity, and ending the conference Saturday evening.
