All Hands Zoom with the VFW

Today was a first.  Using technology we had an "all hands call" bringing together every Department Commander, Senior Vice, and Junior Vice...as well as Department Adjutants and Quartermasters if they desired.  To top it off, the meeting was hosted by the soon to be Commander in Chief, Senior Vice CIC, and Junior Vice CIC.

For far too long each group/team/class was an entity within itself and we didn't see [or didn't want to see] the synergy that could be created if we all rowed in the same direction.  To that end, Hal, Tim, and I thought it would be a great idea to introduce ourselves to all of the Department leadership teams across the entire VFW.

Nothing earth-shattering happened, but we didn't expect that.  What we did expect was a breaking of the ice and the levels that have been ingrained.  Everything we do, we do as a team.  If one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, you're not going to get very far.  I can say with confidence now that everyone knows exactly where they stand and what is expected of them.  We are moving forward smartly and it's going to be exciting!
