The Office of Public Relations serves as the central communications/public information operation for The American Legion Department of Illinois. Our Mission is to communicate in a proactive manner the goals, agenda and accomplishments of The American Legion to a broad-based constituency—particularly to such primary audiences as state legislators; key national, and local media; key business and industry leaders and other key decision–makers, as well as the public at large.  We also aim to shape the image of The American Legion as a highly accessible, veteran service-oriented organization.
