                                           American Legion Auxiliary College
                                                            Class of 2010

SUNY Cobleskill - June 18, 19, 20, 2010

The 2010 session of the American Legion Auxiliary College of New York will be held at SUNY Cobleskill in Schoharie County from June 18 - June 20, 2010. The College will give Auxiliary members an opportunity to take a three-day comprehensive course of study on many programs of the American Legion Auxiliary.  Only those who have a genuine interest in learning more about the American Legion Auxiliary and accepting the responsibilities of active membership should apply. The college will address many programs and issues facing our organization. Public relations and leadership skills will be interwoven throughout the curriculum.  

The College will be very structured with little time between classes. Students will work in teams to solve problems they may encounter back home in their own Units or County.  Each team will have an opportunity to present their solutions to the entire college.  Attendees will be required to be active participants in all classes in order to graduate. Auxiliary members who have been active members for many years, and who have significant leadership experience, may apply.  However, we hope they will seriously consider the alternative of encouraging the application of newer members who might profit more from the experience and contribute to the future success of our organization.

Upon completion of this college, participants will have not only a better understanding of the mission, goals, and programs of the American Legion Auxiliary, but also the confidence to become active, knowledgeable shapers of its future.

The college will be limited in size to a maximum of 100 to facilitate the optimum learning experience. In the event that you are not accepted this year, do not be discouraged! There will be other opportunities in future years to attend.
