The purpose of the Leadership program is to develop and prepare knowledgeable and capable leaders to carry on the growth and success of the Auxiliary by promoting activities and resources that educate, motivate and mentor members of all ages and at all levels of the organization. The Auxiliary must provide members with opportunities to use their special skills and energy and must constantly look for those with the potential to become leaders of tomorrow. Attention will be focused on senior members to reach out to younger people in the unit’s local community.

Units are encouraged to nominate a Unit Member of the Year to recognize a senior member who is not in an elected or appointed leadership role higher than unit president, exemplifies the values and ideals of the Auxiliary, and whose accomplishments significantly impact the program work in their units.

A half-day Leadership Course conducted by a member of the Leadership Committee is available to all units, counties and districts. The registration cost of the course is $5.00 per person. Leadership Guide Books are available for $5.00 each. Unit, county or district presidents should contact the Department Leadership Chair to request a workshop in their area.
