Post Officer and Adjutant Training
District Post Officer & Adjutant Training – Reserve Your Date
Dear Legionnaires,
The American Legion Department of Colorado will once again be offering Post Officer and Adjutant Training on a first-come, first-served basis by District. If your District would like to host one of these training sessions, please contact Department Headquarters as soon as possible to reserve one of the available dates.
Available Training Dates:
District 2 Training is on October 10th at Byers Post #160
District 8 Training is on November 14th with location TBA
District 3 Training is on November 21 at Post 19 Ft. Morgan

All training sessions begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. and will include a working lunch.
I strongly encourage anyone who has not previously attended one of these training sessions to do so, especially new Post Officers and Adjutants. These sessions are designed to provide practical information, answer questions, and help ensure your Post is successful and operating in accordance with The American Legion's policies and procedures.
This training is not limited to current officers. We encourage Legion and Sons of The American Legion (SAL) members, as well as anyone interested in learning more about Post operations or considering serving in an elected or appointed position in the future, to attend.
Topics will include Post administration, membership, finances, reporting requirements, MyLegion.org, officer responsibilities, available Department resources, and best practices for operating a successful Post.
If your District would like to host one of these sessions, please contact me as soon as possible to reserve your preferred date. Once a date has been assigned, it will no longer be available to other Districts.
We look forward to seeing you at one of these training sessions and helping build stronger Posts throughout the Department of Colorado.
For questions or to reserve a date, please contact me directly.
