2nd Vice – Tim Wendt

Greetings AMVETS family! This is the November 2025 Programs Report for the Department of Wisconsin.

National Programs Reporting Periods:

  • July 1st – December 31st National Deadline: January 7th
  • January 1st – June 30th National Deadline: July 7th

Out of 44 Posts within the Department of Wisconsin, only 14 Posts have submitted programs this reporting cycle (since July 1st ) through the National Programs online reporting system. The program is known as mini-extensions and ALL AMVETS members can access the reporting system and enter their own individual program hours. Unfortunately, you are not able to see the report of your hours or a report of your Posts hours. I have access to a separate database that pulls the data from mini-extensions. If you are interested in seeing the totals for your Post programs report, please email me and I can run the report for you.

NOTE: Each Post 2 nd Vice Commander should submit their post program hours monthly using the National Programs Reporting Portal https://www.amvets.org/submit-reports. If the 2nd Vice Commander is unable to submit their reports, please contact your Post Commander, or District 2nd Vice (me).
