Department Membership Incentives 2020-2021

The American Legion Department of Michigan’s Membership Committee presents the 2021 Membership Incentive Program. Membership within our organization has been on the decline, and it’s up to all of us to make a commitment to turn this slide around. This year the Membership Committee is taking a fresh approach to membership.

There are three categories for incentives.

Exceed Membership Goal by the Highest Percent – Current standing
Exceed Membership Goal by the Highest Actual Number of Members – Current standing
Most Improved (Current Year % – Last Year % + #of Members above Goal) All Whole Numbers – Current standing

The incentive will be based on June 7, 2021, 100% Target Date.

First Place $2,000
Second Place $1,000
Third Place $500

April Flash Competition Extended to June 7!

The Department of Michigan’s Membership Committee is sponsoring a FLASH Competition to help your Post reach 100% of your 2021 Membership Goal.
Starting April 1st, and continuing through May 12th, ALL Posts in the Department will share a portion of $5,000 for every new Member entered into MyLegion during the Contest Period.
During this FLASH Competition, the $5,000 prize will be divided by the total number of New Members across the Department, then distributed to each Post based on the number of New Members you recruit into your Membership.
The more New Members your Post welcomes into The American Legion, the larger your share of the prize will be.

Here are the Rules of Engagement…
Contest Begins at 0800 on 1 April 2021
The contest ends at 2359 on 7 June 2021

The more New Members who join your Post, the larger your share of the $5,000 Prize
A New Member is a Qualifying Veteran who has NEVER been an American Legion Member
MyLegion is the Official Source of Data.
Be Creative with your share of the winnings – Examples include: Pay 1st year Dues for New Member, Pay 1st Renewal for New Member
Postmarks DO count
There’s No Crying in Legiontown
If you need ANY assistance with MyLegion entries, please don’t hesitate to call 269-579-6458 as soon as possible.
Good Luck!

Post Adjutant’s, are you using MYLEGION.org to process post membership?

Avoid delays when processing membership, save on postage and send membership straight to national through the mylegion.org portal with online transmittal processing.

The MyLegion portal is the place post adjutants can edit information about members, find members-at-large in the area, track online renewals, and process membership.

To learn more about MyLegion.org watch the below training video.
