From your Membership Officer, Cheryl Perez, PNP:

Every year at National Convention there is discussion about increasing the percentage of At-Large members and the decreasing percentage of Active Unit members. The first thought is usually to contact At-Large members and encourage them to join a Unit.

While that is a good idea, I believe the better place to start is with the members who are already listed on our Unit rosters and get them involved again. As I talked with Unit Presidents over the past year, I know that many have not talked with or heard from some of their members for several years. I have also heard concerns about cleaning up Unit rosters because doing so would result in a loss of rebate money and delegate votes at National Convention. I understand those concerns but maintaining inaccurate rosters is not a sustainable way to build a healthy organization.

Our Units are the foundation of the Auxiliary. Having accurate and up to date rosters is essential to understanding our Units and organization. Accurate information allows National leadership to make better informed decisions about how to move the Auxiliary forward.

For these reasons, and others, the 2026 Life Membership Verification Form (LMV), due by October 1, is focusing on outreach to your Unit members.
The June 30 rosters were emailed to Unit Presidents and Secretaries during the first week of July with a request to begin contacting members and verifying the accuracy of their information.

Below are links for two Google Forms that you can use to report changes to member information.

One form is for reporting a change in membership status and the other is for reporting changes to contact information. I will be noting the month and year of member contact on the master database for future reference.

Please remember that the LMV form is based on the June 30 roster.

The revised LMV form is attached and it will take into account the work being done during this time. Please make sure as you outreach to your members that you are taking notes on when and how you contacted them and any pertinent information.

National President Judy Fiddler and I are hoping to see many updates as a result of your efforts to contact members and bring our rosters up to date. I anticipate sending updated Unit rosters to Presidents and Secretaries in January.

We thank you for your help with this important effort. Accurate membership information is essential to the health of our Units and the future of the Auxiliary.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
