Legionnaires,
Some of you have recently received a letter or email asking you to call and verify your membership information. I want to assure you that this is a legitimate member data verification project authorized by The American Legion Department of New Mexico.
The project is being conducted through Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), a company that has partnered with many American Legion Department of New Mexico and other nonprofit organizations to assist with member data verification and historical preservation projects.
The purpose of the project is to:
Verify and update member contact information.
Correct missing or outdated information in membership records.
Give members the opportunity, if they wish, to share their military service or American Legion story as part of preserving our organization’s history.
Participation is voluntary. If you choose to participate, we recommend providing only the information necessary to update your membership record, such as your address, phone number, email address, and basic military service information.
Please do not provide your Social Security number, banking information, or other sensitive financial information. The only time payment information would be requested is if you voluntarily choose to purchase an optional commemorative publication or other item offered by PCI.
Any stories shared may be preserved as part of The American Legion’s historical archives and may be included in commemorative publications produced through the project. Purchasing any publication is completely optional.
If you have any questions or concerns before responding, please contact Department Headquarters.
Thank you for helping us keep our membership records current while preserving the stories of those who have served.
