Build Stronger Membership With the Right Resources

“Serving America’s Veterans”

“The Power of One”

Hello, Auxiliary Brothers & Sisters,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the School of Instruction in Altus! I hope the sessions provided you with valuable insights and practical strategies that you're already implementing in your programs. Your commitment to professional development strengthens our entire organization. If you weren't able to attend this time, mark your calendars—we'd love to see you at our upcoming School of Instruction in Tulsa!

A heartfelt thank you to all the auxiliaries who participated in our dues notice challenge by submitting photos! Your creativity and engagement made this initiative a success. We're excited to announce the winning auxiliary very soon, so stay tuned!

As you plan and execute membership drives throughout the year, I encourage you to explore the comprehensive resources available on MALTA. These tools are designed to support your recruitment and retention goals:

• Auxiliary Benefits — highlight what membership offers

• Eligibility Wheel — clarify membership requirements

• Attracting Younger Members — strategies for engaging new demographics

• Matching Member Talents — align member skills with meaningful roles

• Auxiliary Merchandise — build pride and visibility

Each of these resources can help you create more effective, engaging membership campaigns tailored to your community's needs.

If you're not already following the Department of Oklahoma Programs Facebook page, I strongly encourage you to do so! This is your go-to source for timely membership updates, announcements about challenges, and opportunities to get involved throughout the year. Don't miss out on important information and community engagement—follow today!
