Michigan American Legion Auxiliary

What is a membership report?

The American Legion Auxiliary comprises members from across the state. At the grassroots level, members join a Unit; several Units in a geographical area comprise a District, and several Districts comprise the Department (state). The membership report tracks the progress of each unit throughout the year. For the purposes of awards and incentives for membership, the period from July 1 to June 30 of the following year is used.

Membership reports are typically published weekly. However, it’s important to note that at the start of a new membership year, reports may not be published until September or later, as the process of renewing current members commences.

At the department convention each year, the District with the highest membership percentage will be seated closest to the stage; others will be seated behind and to the side, depending on the convention’s layout.
