The programs of the Catholic War Veterans & the Auxiliary are what set us apart from all other Veterans Service Organizations. Administering our programs are the responsibility of the Echelon Officers – each position has a corresponding program. The National Officers add details and fine points to the Program for the year. That’s where you’ll find the “meat & potatoes” of each Program.
On each of these pages, you will find:
- a description of each Officer’s duties from the CWV Officers Manual
- the National Officer’s Program with details, rules, deadlines, etc
- the Officer Report Form to be filed twice a year with all of the upper Echelons
- Other Program helps – tips, other forms, etc.
Below are links that for each of our National Programs – Officers Programs for 2019-20 are in BLUE and are now active links. The remainder will be posted when received. Click on the blue-wording

Recruitment & Retention – read below and then click HERE
While Membership is the official domain of the CWV’s 2nd Vice Commanders and the Auxiliary’s 2nd Vice Presidents, it is ultimately EVERY MEMBER’S responsibility to recruit and retain membership.
Resource items, many of which are available on this website, have been developed to help Post’s and Auxiliary’s in their efforts to recruit and grow membership in our organization. Some can be downloaded and printed; others are available from National HQ.
Recruitment of members should be an ongoing effort – you can recruit anytime, anywhere! Call or email to get the materials you need to grow the CWV and Auxiliary.
Each year the Catholic War Veterans & Auxiliary sponsor a “National Recruitment Week”, usually the week of or before Veterans Day. The same resources found on this site can be used during this event. Other items may be available from HQ to assist you further. Details will be posted on this site as we approach Recruitment Week.
