A Message from the Commander

Congratulations on your selection as a Post Officer! 

The last four years have been tough times for the organization with additional reporting requirements; use of new automated systems; and demanding membership goals.  This will be the year to take a pause and get back to the basics of post operations.    

Your comrades have chosen you to lead this effort. Remember you are not alone nor do you have to do it all.  Each of you have elected and appointed officers to assist in this effort.  We will also provide training teams who will move around the state assisting you in this effort.  We have incredible comrades throughout this Department working at the Post, District, and Department levels, as well as Past State Commanders, who have a wealth of knowledge.  Tap into that knowledge. 

We want to continue to strengthen our relationship with the Auxiliary.  They can assist you with community support projects and help recruit new members for both sides of the organization.  We are two sides of the same coin, one team, working together for the betterment of the organization.

Growing our organization ensures we remain a voice for all Veterans.  There are many combat Veterans living in West Virginia waiting to be asked to join the VFW. So get out into your communities, embrace the challenge, and most importantly have fun!

Respectfully,

Corrina M. Boggess

Department Commander

VFW State of West Virginia
