Auxiliary national leaders collaborate to ensure that our motivated members have everything to successfully carry out our mission–things like informational resources and support, an action plan, encouragement, materials, and recognition for a job well done. Our personal connection to the heroes we serve fuels our passion, making sure the mission is met. The powerful results our veterans, military and their families receive are due to the dedication of our members. It is a powerful mission, led by passionate servant leaders.
