Tools for Buddy Check Teams

A one-stop shop for membership management

This article is from the 2021 Annual Report of The American Legion.

On April 1, 2021, The American Legion launched a new MyLegion.org platform that provides registered users with membership and individual account enhancements. The platform is a free, secure website for American Legion members, Sons of The American Legion members, and post, district and department officers. The project involved transferring millions of records from the old system and creating tens of thousands of lines of new code over a few months.

With a MyLegion.org account, American Legion and Sons of The American Legion members can manage their profile information (make updates to addresses, phone numbers, etc.); print membership cards; renew membership online or set up automatic membership renewal; view member-only discounts, from retail to travel; manage subscriptions to American Legion media content; access training tools; and more.

Another new membership initiative is Training Tuesdays. Since October 2020, on the last Tuesday of each month, American Legion National Headquarters staff members have presented 60- to 90-minute sessions on topics aimed at post commanders and adjutants. Each session is recorded and made available for later viewing.
