For the month of August, the Post in each membership division that increases their membership total by the most will receive a $500 cash award and a framed citation for the Post! This is specifically counting Annual members, as Life members will not be shown in Post totals until the payout in September. This will count New members, Renewing members, Reinstated members, as well as dues-paying transfers.

We’re pushing for membership now and through this year; in order to meet that 102% goal it will take constant work to recruit, retain, and reinstate our members. We have no off-season, we have no recess, membership is a 52-weeks-a-year process and the year-round Commander’s Challenges will reflect that as we work towards that goal of 102% in Louisville. 

Please make sure that all Posts in your Department are aware of this challenge and have the support they need to help grow and maintain their membership. As always, the Membership Department is available for assistance, questions, and support; you can email us at membership@vfw.orgor call us at 888.564.6839.  

Let’s get out there and Meet The Challenge!
