In honor of Women's History Month in March and honoring the 250th birthday of our GREAT COUNTRY, we want to recognize you. Showcase your Leadership, Courage, and Unwavering Dedication to serving our Veterans, Military families, and our community. Each day during the Month of March the ALAFL Leadership Page will showcase our Auxiliary members that give so much back to keeping the Mission in Motion. You can nominate yourself or someone else. Please give their name, their unit number, the number of years of membership (if known) and a brief story of how they continue to work the mission through their Dedication in the Organization.
The American Legion Auxiliary is an organization that provides women of all ages, Junior and adult members, the opportunity to develop and improve their leadership skills. Our organization depends upon an ever-emerging stream of competent new leaders, trained and guided by experienced ones, to assume leadership within the Auxiliary and advance its mission long into the future.
The Auxiliary offers a variety of opportunities for members to serve in leadership roles … from chairing a short-term community service project at the local Unit level to running for a national office.
Leadership Purpose Statement:
The American Legion Auxiliary Leadership Program helps develop and prepare knowledgeable and capable leaders to carry on the growth and success of the Auxiliary by promoting activities and resources that educate, motivate, and mentor members of all ages and at all levels within the organization.

Here in Florida:
Members of the American Legion Auxiliary in the Department of Florida believe that we are all leaders to some degree. We all have knowledge that we can share with each other … and we all must share that knowledge … thus enabling us to become better, more enlightened members. We mentor our members to excel in their current roles while preparing to advance to higher levels within the organization.
Knowledgeable instructors travel to the 16 Districts and present Auxiliary Basic Concept Schools (aka ABC Schools). ABC Schools educate members about the basics of the American Legion Auxiliary: the who, what, why and how of Auxiliary. The instructors encourage members to take advantage of additional training available, from the local to national levels, and where to find the answers needed to do the job to the best of their ability. Our goal is to provide our members with the tools they need to succeed.
