Chief of Staff/Extension: Communication is the Key!
We are looking forward to a wonderful year, full of possibilities for a lot of new members to join our wonderful organization!
Walk around your neighborhood and meet your neighbors. See if they are eligible to join the Auxiliary or Veterans of Foreign Wars. When you’re speaking with people outside of the organization, be sure and use the full name: Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary (VFW Auxiliary) or Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). There are thousands of organizations and some share the same initials, so please make sure they know who you represent.
In addition to gaining and maintaining membership, we need to maintain our current Auxiliaries! Are you using the following at your Auxiliary?
- RU Healthy Auxiliary Checklist
- 5 Essentials of an Auxiliary
- Healthy Auxiliary Member Questionnaire
All are available for download in the Healthy Auxiliary Toolkit on the National Auxiliary website.
Remember that healthy communication is the key, whether in person, emails or even texts!
BE FRIENDLY.
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION.
