Have you participated in an ALA Academy Live webinar? Have you completed an ALA Academy course to gain a deeper level of understanding about the American Legion Auxiliary organization and advance your impact?
ALA Academy is a user-friendly online training platform that provides Auxiliary members with tools to enhance their membership and knowledge to further grow the organization, thus helping to fulfill our overall mission of better serving veterans, military, and their families.
A closer look at these training resources
Under the umbrella of ALA Academy, the American Legion Auxiliary offers all members — new and seasoned — free educational and informative learning opportunities through ALA Academy Live webinars. Auxiliary members of all ages and all levels in the organization can learn new skills and ways to serve by registering and participating in an ALA Academy Live webinar.
Presented by national staff and national leadership, as well as expert external presenters, these live webinar trainings are typically around 30 minutes long with time available at the end for questions. Instead of a full day of trainings in person, the live webinars are designed in small chunks on a particular subject to offer a different way of obtaining information. The shorter timeframe allows members to absorb small bites of knowledge to help maximize their time.
These educational opportunities are beneficial for ALA members because they provide more access to information in case members are unable to attend other meetings like ALA Mission Trainings, National Convention, etc. ALA Academy Live webinars are offered at different times and days throughout the week, depending on what works best for the presenters, as well as the intended audience.
With almost all ALA Academy Live webinars having at least 200 people registered in each session, the numbers prove just how much Auxiliary members enjoy the educational trainings.
Unable to attend a live webinar? Don’t worry — all ALA Academy Live webinars are recorded and available on the ALA Academy webpage approximately two weeks following the live trainings. Catch up on any previous recordings at www.ALAforVeterans.org. You will need to log in to the MyAuxiliary member portal to access the recordings.
