Washington Conference 2025
The Annual Washington Conference is the biggest Legislative effort that our American Legion does. Delegates from all Departments ascend on Washington and meet with your elected officials and discuss the Legislative priorities for that session of Congress. It concludes with The National Commander's Testimony to a joint session of Congress.
The 65th Annual Washington Conference will be held February 22-26, 2025, at the Washington Hilton Hotel, 1919 Connecticut Ave, Washington DC.
