Videos of Service contest among resolutions approved by SAL NEC

The National Executive Committee of the Sons of The American Legion approved two resolutions as their Fall Meetings closed Oct. 9 in Indianapolis.

Videos of Service, a contest similar to the SAL’s Snapshots of Service, is being established “to facilitate public relations, brand awareness and promotion of the Sons of The American Legion on social media platforms.”

Under the approved resolution, the Videos of Service contest will be open to all members of the SAL; requires the videos to contain SAL members with their covers or identifiable clothing on during the activity or event; and the videos must fall under one of three categories: program support, community engagement, or membership and recruitment.

The videos must also be no more than five minutes long, published on social media and a link must be submitted to the SAL’s Public and Media Communications Commission. The commission will judge the videos on video quality, content and branding, and the top two entries in each of the three categories will receive awards.

The SAL NEC also approved a resolution allowing the SAL’s national Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) representative to approve certifications of SAL members as VAVS and deputy VAVS representatives.
