National Convention
The annual National
Convention is the governing body of The American Legion. Each of The
American Legion's 55 Departments (one in each state, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the
Philippines) is entitled to a minimum of five delegates to the National
Convention, plus one delegate for each 1,000 members or major fraction
thereof, as of 30 days before the convention. The National Commander,
members of the National Executive Committee, all living Past National
Commanders, and the five National Vice Commanders are also delegates to
the National Convention.
Convention cities
are selected on a basis of a variety of criteria, including, but not
limited to, the availability and price of hotel rooms, meeting space,
city services and the needs of the National Organization and the
Departments. Bids are accepted from cities that wish to host the
convention.
