Leadership Team
From our headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin, our directors lead The John Birch Society, working with staff and volunteer leaders across the country. Unique to our organization, we have a paid Field Staff that organizes volunteer leaders into member chapters.
Burning in the heart of every one of our leaders is a desire to carry on the mission of our organization, protecting American ideals, constitutional principles, and God-given freedoms. America now needs its experienced patriots to stand up and lead. If you have a desire to lead, contact your local Field Staff Coordinator to discuss immediate opportunities in your area.
