| General Information For Posts Forming A Legion Riders Chapter |
|
Since the passage of Resolution 35 last fall by the National Executive Committee, many Department Headquarters, state American Legion Riders Chairmen, and individual Posts have asked for sample guidelines or templates to follow when constructing a basic document for the formation of an American Legion Riders Chapter at Post or Department level.
Like the "Suggested Post Bylaws" contained in the Officers Guide, this is a very simple template that most ALR programs will want to add to or adapt to local programs. This is encouraged but local programs must not ignore the basic membership requirements defined within.
These templates do not constitute a national constitution for the ALR. State and local programs are encouraged to add to the basic document, which reflects the vision of most of the Riders nationally. For example, additions to the basic document may include definitions of Supporting Riders or Junior riders (for teen and younger SAL/Jr. AUX members) not used by all programs. Full membership in the ALR is not allowed for anyone not meeting the basic eligibility requirements, but many Posts have allowed for the participation of non-Legion Family supporters and family members younger than driving age.
With the provision that there is only one class of membership (full membership), such supporting classes are not prohibited by these templates, and in fact all Posts and Chapters are encouraged to find ways for non-members to participate in all programs, not just the American Legion Riders.
