From your Membership Chairperson ~
MEMBERSHIP GOALS FOR 2025-2026 WILL BE: NATIONAL’S CLOSE OF
BOOKS 12/2024 PLUS 2%. UNIT GOALS ARE BASED ON DEPARTMENT’S
MEMBERSHIP 6/2025 PLUS 1 NEW MEMBER.                                                                                               

Our members are the heartbeat of this organization. You are the spark,
the voice, the passion behind every act of service.
This year, we are REDDY, and we will be telling our story. The story is of who we are, why
we serve, and how every voice and every heart fuels our mission to serve our Veterans.
Membership is more than numbers. It’s the fire that drives us forward.
It’s the reason every program exists, and the foundation every success is built on. When we come together, heart to heart, voice to voice, we build something greater than ourselves.
I’m so very excited to be your Membership Chairperson for the 2025-2026 year, and together, we're not just a team, we are a living, breathing mission, fueled by passionate commitment, driven by purpose, and powered by every voice and heart.
I know that every Unit is different. They might be large or they might be very small.   Every single one is unique.
So, as your Voice of Membership, please let me know how I can help.
I am REDDY for a great year and look forward to working with you this year!
