The Extension & Revitalization Program
- Establishes New Auxiliaries.
- Interested in starting an Auxiliary? Whether a VFW Post decides on its own that it wants an Auxiliary or whether a member or non-member sees the potential for a new Auxiliary, the steps for creating an Auxiliary are the same:
- A VFW Post must vote by 2/3 majority to have an Auxiliary. (An Auxiliary can never exist on its own without a Post and can never be started without that Post’s 2/3 majority vote).
- The Department President appoints the official organizer of the new Auxiliary, and he/she must be a member of the VFW Auxiliary.
- A minimum of 15 eligible applicants must be on the application for the Charter (transfers are not eligible).
- From there, it’s a matter of securing and filling out the proper paperwork provided by VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters. Every Department President, Secretary and Chief of Staff has access to these forms.
- Maintains Current Auxiliaries
- The national organization requires only five (5) things of a VFW Auxiliary:
- Auxiliaries should have at least ten (10) business meetings per year. (Sec. 210) Five (5) members in good standing shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. (Sec 212)
- Dues should be paid on at least ten (10) members on or before February 1 of the current year. (Sec. 207)
- Quarterly audits by Trustees must be submitted. (Sec. 814)
- Officers elected and installed and reported to National Headquarters no later than June 30. This generates the bond application via email. (Sec. 804A & 806A)
- The offices of President and Treasurer MUST be bonded by August 31. (Sec. 814) This form can be found MALTA.
