The American Legion Department of Arizona is making history at the 2025 Annual Conference in Tucson (Nov. 7–9, 2025) by offering a dedicated virtual training track for our most essential leadership and operations courses!
For the first time, you can access specific, high-value training sessions from the conference floor via Microsoft Teams Webinars. This allows members, Post Adjutants, Service Officers, and leaders across the state to benefit, even if they cannot attend in person.
MANDATORY SIGN-UP REQUIRED TO ATTEND
To maintain compliance and ensure security, sign-up is mandatory for every session you wish to attend. The only way to receive the unique link to join the training is by completing the registration form below.
- No Sign-Up, No Link: If you do not sign up, you will not receive the access link in your email and cannot join the meeting.
- Capacity: Each webinar can host up to 1,000 attendees, so sign up early! We want to see this number as high as possible.
- Recordings: If you sign up but cannot attend the live session, you will automatically receive an email with a link to watch the recording later.
