COLORADO

It is my sad duty to report to the members of The American Legion in Colorado that there will NOT be a recommendation made to the National Executive Committee at their spring meeting to begin the process of reinstating the charter of the Department of Colorado. This is a difficult decision, but one that is necessary... That the national commander be authorized to name and appoint a Colorado Reorganization Committee with the following authority, its actions, subject to the national commander's concurrence: . . . 4) to ensure that the department is properly audited and follows generally accepted accounting principles". Currently, it is not possible to meet that condition... Two problems prevent being able to ensure that the department is properly audited. IRS Form 990s for the department have not been filed since 2021. Without the 2022 tax forms having been completed, we currently do not have an accurate picture of the department's finances.
