REQUIRED FOR ALL POSTS EVEN IF THEY DO NOT SEND ANY DELEGATES TO THE STATE CONVENTION. The Delegate fee is calculated by taking your Post's total membership as of March 31st ( This can be found by logging into the "Members Only" section at https://vfwia.org ) and dividing the total by 30 (I.e. if you have 280 members: 280/30 = 9.334); National requires that any fraction thereof the total be rounded up therefore the Post would be entitled to 10 Delegates $10 X 10 Delegates = $100 that the Post would owe. So all you need to do is select 1 item for each of the Delegates your post is entitled to. EACH POST MUST PAY THE DELEGATE FEE REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY ACTUAL DELEGATES THEY WILL HAVE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE CONVENTION, AS 1 DELEGATE CAN VOTE FULL POST DELEGATE STRENGTH.
