The Branch Department series encompasses the work of the Branch Department, whose chief responsibility involved overseeing and guiding the organization’s many local branches across all fifty states and on military bases abroad. Aside from general administration, the Branch Department was also responsible for annual membership and life membership recruitment, prisoner membership through the Prison Program, and youth membership through its Youth and College Division.
Arranged into seven subseries.
