The Constitution & Bylaws program informs and educates members of the American Legion Auxiliary on the importance and power of having properly written and regularly reviewed and updated governing documents. 

Our Constitution & Bylaws provide the governance structure for our organization and how it will function. These documents provide answers to the important questions that arise, such as eligibility, purpose, officers, executive committee, meetings, and how we can amend the documents. They tell us in very certain terms how we elect our officers, their specific term in office, how we fill vacancies, and even how we discipline members, should the need arise.

The key to keeping our organization healthy and productive is to make sure our governing documents are reviewed and updated regularly. When the National and Department  Constitution and Bylaws are amended, all unit, counties, and districts should automatically update their governing documents.
