Book The Royal Canadian Legion Branch Leadership Manual June 1997 No. 700210

---

A 46 page, paper back manual, containing the guidelines for running a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Printed in June 1997.

No. 700210

The Royal Canadian Legion is Canada's largest veterans and ex-service persons' organization; as such, we the members, have taken on many obligations and responsibilities. Obviously, the provision of support to veterans and serving or ex-former members of the military remains our primary objective. However, the Legion is also active in the communities in which we live and the support provided to senior citizens, the disabled, youth and other community activities are examples of service we take pride in.

In order to ensure the success of our undertakings it is necessary to ensure that Branch Members are provided the opportunity to become familiar with the structure and the manner in which the Legion conducts day-to-day operations.

This Manual has been produced by the Dominion Command Leadership and Development Committee. It provides Branch Officers and those who will assume these positions with information to permit them to become proficient in their leadership roles.

The Manual contains information on a number of topics including:
Brief history of the Legion;
Purposes and Objects;
Articles of Faith;
Organization and structure of Dominion Command, Provincial Commands, United States Commands and Branches and Posts;
Information on Legion administration to assist day-to-day Branch operations;
Branch Officers' responsibilities;
Ladies Auxiliary;
Members' responsibilities;
Legion dress, including the wearing of decorations, medals and orders;
Flag etiquette;
Visits and protocol; and
The necessary publications and brochures required at each Branch.
