Annually, the Americanism Commission of The American Legion national headquarters gets together with our department counterparts, combining all the Americanism programs into a single conference. This conference focuses on sharing ideas, best practices, rolling-out program updates, and allows department program directors an opportunity to provide needed feedback to our national programs.

The Combined Americanism Conference consists of seven segments, which will all occur in person this year. These conference segments will occur September 18-20. Conference program agendas will be available in early September.

Conference attendees will be responsible for their own lodging, meals, and transportation costs associated with attending the conference.
