Legion Post Hub has officially been accepted by American Legion Post 534 and will begin live testing this week.

This marks an important step in moving the platform from development into real post operations. Over the coming weeks, Post 534 leaders and members will help test features, identify improvements, and shape the platform before expansion to additional posts.
