Sign up one fully paid new member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and enter to win a prize package for the 2026 DAV and Auxiliary National Convention in Orlando, Florida. The package includes $2,500 in spending money and hotel accommodations. To participate, recruit a new member by June 30, 2026. Each person can make one entry regardless of how many members they recruit. A drawing will take place after the deadline to select the winner.
National Adjutant Barry Jesinoski emphasizes the importance of reaching a recruitment goal of one million members for legislative strength. He encourages members to focus on recruiting one veteran to empower them personally. Additionally, those who recruit multiple members will receive credits for the DAV Store and other awards.
Shannon Sander, a successful recruiter, suggests using empathy and personal passion to connect with potential members. She advises applicants to view rejection as an opportunity for further conversation and to be flexible with payment options, understanding the financial challenges many disabled veterans face. Resources for recruitment are available on the DAV website.
