We’ve moved! ALA National Headquarters has a new home
|
American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters completed relocation to its new building Dec. 10 and resumed business operations Dec. 11. ALA Headquarters is now at 3450 Founders Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268. All phone numbers and email addresses have remained the same.
The new site is a building owned by the ALA. The ALA National Executive Committee in July 2017 approved the purchase of the building, the first time the organization has owned property in its nearly 100-year history.
With close proximity to major interstates, the new office location is 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis and 30 minutes from the Indianapolis International Airport. The new building space is larger, allowing the ALA to host more of its meetings at National Headquarters.
Tour dates of the new location will be announced in future ALA national media. Stay tuned!
