Sons of AMVETS 2027 Membership

The National AMVETS approved an increase in AMVETS membership dues at the National convention in Orlando FL. The increase is in the amount of $5.00 effective September 1st, 2026. This increase may require your local post to increase their AMVET Membership dues. The Sons of AMVETS Constitution requires that Sons of AMVETS membership dues be at the same level as the AMVETS membership dues.

Article III – Dues, Section I( b) of the Constitution:

b. The annual membership dues for State Departments shall be established by the State Executive Committee to be presented for approval at the State Convention by two-thirds (2/3) vote. Annual dues for the Sons Squadron shall be no less then their sponsoring AMVETS Post. MAL shall be responsible for State and National dues based on the State in which they live.

Please verify your local AMVETS membership dues and make any adjustment to the Squadron dues to be in compliance with the Sons of AMVETS Constitution.
Example: If the Squadron dues are $40 and the AMVETS dues are now $35. AMVETS may increase their dues to $40 as a result of the National AMVETS dues increase. In this scenario, the Squadron dues do not need to change.. If both the Squadron and AMVETS dues are at $30, and now the AMVETS dues change to $35, the Squadron dues need to change to $35 or higher.

Note that an updated Change of Officers form to reflect the Squadron dues should be submitted to the State and to National.

Department of Ohio Sons of AMVETS, as May approaches, remember that you should be holding your annual elections of officers at your next meeting. You also need to send your Change of Officers form and your most recent receipt for filing your 990 into HQ before June 1. Please make sure that the Change of Officers form is completely filled out and that you use the correct form! Too many times squadrons use a Department or National form. All forms are available on the State and National websites. If you need any assistance or have any questions, please reach out to your Department 1st Vice Scott Emery or call HQ.... you can even ask them here in the comments, if needed. We are here to help you!
