I belong to a local American Legion Auxiliary and our elections are April 6, 2022.
Question 1: All positions (President, 1st Vice, Secretary, Treasurer, Chaplain) are open and we are collecting nominations. Right now 4 people have signed up for the first 4 positions however 3 of them are related (mother, daughter, sister). Is this legal or is "nepotism" not allowed in this organization?
Question 2: 2 (two) of the nominations are paid employees in the American Legion Post (mother, daughter). Is this legal ?
There is nothing in the By-Laws about any of these two questions so I am referring to you.
Thank you for your time.
