The American Legion’s largest annual meeting is the national convention. Over 100 national conventions have been held at different cities across the nation. California has hosted six of our national conventions, they were:

Our national convention delegates alone have the authority to approve changes to the Legion’s constitution and bylaws. The group is also responsible for passing programs that determine the course of the Legion, setting membership dues for the upcoming year, and electing a national commander and five national vice commanders to serve until the next convention.
