NPC Post 20 to host American Legion executive director

NPC American Legion Post 20 will hear from Verna Jones, executive director of the American Legion and overseer of the Indianapolis-based veterans organization's D.C. office, at its noon luncheon meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 17, in the McClendon Room.

Jones, the Legion's first female director, is an attorney and Army veteran who has been at the forefront in advocating for better military health care and stronger action in sexual harassment cases. She leads the Legion's Washington-based divisions working on legislative policy, employment, education, national security and benefits affecting veterans.

Post 20 will hold an election of officers for the coming year following Jones' presentation.
