My Theme this year is “ Spiderman informing his friends of the American Legion Auxiliary
heroes and programs.”

Public relations promotes who we are, what we do and why we matter. Build Brand Loyalty of the American Legion Auxiliary through the Utilization and promotion of websites, social media and electronic communications. When reporting to the media; gather correct and pertinent information with who, what, when, where, why, and how. Always be prepared to help a fellow hero: Radio and television interviews give you a short, allotted time. When interviewed, be like spiderman and know exactly what you want to say, so the interviewer is not asking alot of questions. When submitting newspaper articles, they need to be short, sweet, and to the point. If a newspaper person comes to your event, have a story prepared for them. When using social media. Be Precise. Our American Legion Auxiliary Brand is our identity. Wear your American Legion Auxiliary apparel and pins out and about. Branding makes us appealing to the public and they will understand our common goal of Helping our hero veterans and their families. I will be compiling a press book for President Angie. Please send me the whole page of your newspaper article that appears in the newspaper, fliers and pictures from social media.
