The Internal Affairs Commission is charged with formulating and recommending policies, and with overseeing the implementation of adopted policies, relating to activities conducted within The American Legion organization.
Among its purposes are membership and post development, records administration, post-revitalization training, Sons of The American Legion, Legion Riders, Legion College, and special projects such as the Legion’s connection with country-music artist Michael Peterson.
