We
are the State Headquarters of The American Legion.
Chartered by Congress in 1919, The
American Legion was
founded as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans
organization.
We are a community-service organization which
now numbers over 156,000 members in
Illinois, in over 800
local Posts. These Posts are organized into Divisions, Districts
and
Counties. Each Division, District and County has officers
who provide leadership in their
respective areas. In addition to
these officers, we elect or appoint a number of
state-level officers
and committee chairmen each year to conduct the programs of
The
American Legion.
The state headquarters is located at 2720 E. Lincoln St.,
in Bloomington, Illinois , with additional offices in Chicago. In addition
to thousands of
volunteers serving in leadership and program roles in
local communities, the state
headquarters has a regular staff of about
12 employees.
Each year we conduct numerous programs of interest
and benefit to veterans, their families
and communities. Programs such
as Premier Boys State, Youth Police School, American Legion
Baseball,
High School Oratorical Contests, Boy Scouts, Blood Donor Donations,
Child
Safety. Various scholarships are offered youth through one of more
of our programs. This
is only a sampling of the many excellent programs
of The American Legion. More
information, on each program will be
available in our Programs area (as it is developed)
or through the National Headquarters site.
We hope you will visit us often.
