Jeff Daly is Commander of American Legion Hollywood Post 43, as well as the Membership Director for the Department of California and the host of the “Tango Alpha Lima” podcast of The American Legion National Headquarters. The thing that is common with all of these positions is that Jeff must constantly think about the mission and future of the American Legion and how diversifying the membership is key to long term survival.
