Branches may by a By-law provide that members holding office in the Branch shall not hold office in the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Branch simultaneously.

You may hold office in one and serve on a committee in the other though. The office of Immediate Past President is considered an office (even though this is not an elected office) so if your Auxiliary Immediate Past President is also a member of the Branch, then she should NOT run for office in the Branch until such time as she is no longer the Immediate Past President.

Our recommendation would be that a member should not hold office in both the Branch and Auxiliary at the same time.

The name tag is to be worn on the right side of the blazer above the medals. The name tag can also be worn on clothing other than the auxiliary uniform.

No, however, if a woman does not let her dues lapse after a divorce, and keeps paying her Auxiliary membership dues, then she continues her membership unchanged.

No. Only members in good standing may transfer, if she not a paid up member she is not in good standing.

No, all applications for membership should be approved by the general membership.

No, this committee has NO power to approve or disapprove an application. The committee can only present their recommendations to the general membership. The general membership then votes on the applications.

No, so care must be taken when accepting transfers from other provinces. You must ascertain what type of membership the lady transferring to your Auxiliary qualifies for under our rules.

You must send a copy of her transfer form and her application form (if she has one) to Command office.

Yes, it was passed by Dominion Command in 1998, that Medals awarded by the Ladies’ Auxiliary may be worn on their Legion Uniform, after all Legion awards. The rule of only wearing seven (7) medals still applies.

Yes, however, if this card is lost or stolen it can be replaced by contacting the AB-NWT Command Office and a replacement card will be sent out.

No. There should not be any initiations on election night.

If an Auxiliary member (usually a Past President) conducts your elections she may also vote.

If she wishes to run for office, then she must vacate the chair when the office she is running for is being voted on.

PLEASE REMEMBER - IT IS COURTESY TO ASK YOUR BRANCH PRESIDENT TO CONDUCT YOUR ELECTIONS.

No, she must be a blood niece of the aunt or uncle whose number she is joining under.

Yes, if your Auxiliary agrees.

Voting Affiliates can nominate, vote and hold office.

As chaplain she may wear the chaplain’s stole when she is performing the duties as the Ladies’ Auxiliary Chaplain.

As Immediate Past President she already has a position on the Executive and should not run.

In small rural Auxiliaries a member often has to wear two hats, but in a large Auxiliary this is a sure way to kill the Auxiliary.

No, she will have to pick the bars most important to her.

The answer should be no, BUT use compassion. A long time member, active when well, could deserve an Honour Guard. Possibly her family didn’t know the dues needed to be paid - but obviously they knew the Auxiliary was an important part of their mother’s life or they wouldn’t be making the request.
