The value of reporting also provides intangible results:

​

• Gives AMVETS at the post level credibility (especially if the IRS wants to know how we are helping our veterans) we have the reports that gives us leverage.

• Gives AMVETS fire power in Washington DC on the Hill, when we can say what we are doing across the country to help veterans again, it gives us credibility.

• It also shows that we are serious about the issues that affect our veterans, ex. homelessness, natural disaster relief and that we are doing something at the post and department levels, etc.

• Gives the post/department a record of past activities for future leaders.

• A great dialog of ‘show and tell’ for potential members and donors.

• A motivator for more members to get involved and do more!
