As part of the premier ALA program, two outstanding high school seniors are selected to represent their respective state as "senators" at ALA Girls Nation prior to participating in one of 47 ALA Girls State sessions held across the country. - "ALA Girls Nation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our nation's future leaders to learn about the inner workings of the federal government before they are of voting age," said Wendy Riggle, ALA Girls Nation Committee chairman.
- "After attending their local ALA Girls State program and then ALA Girls Nation, the girls return home ready to be engaged citizens at all levels of government."
- Riggle and other American Legion Auxiliary volunteer leaders at the conference encourage the students to continue their community service by becoming members of the American Legion Auxiliary, as well as leaders in their communities and local governments.
