Board & Staff
Our Foundation, though created by The American Legion, is actually a separate nonprofit corporation. It is composed of nine members appointed by The American Legion’s National Executive Committee upon nomination by the National Commander.
Serving with the Board of Directors is a Liaison Committee: three appointed by the National President of the American Legion Auxiliary; three appointed by the National Commander of the Sons of the American Legion; and three appointed by Le Chapeau Nationale of the Eight & Forty.
