Lodge Officers Seminars

At his installation as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, F.A.A.M., of the District of Columbia, MWB Robert B. Heyat made "Investing in the Craft" the main focus of his administration. Accordingly, the Grand Master charged the Masonic Education and Service Committee to organize instructional seminars for all office holders in our constituent Lodges. The seminars have been custom designed to meet the needs and requirements of each individual office. The first seminar for Worshipful Masters was held on February 3, 2007. This effort is part of a larger multifaceted process aimed at assisting our Lodges get ready for 2011 when our jurisdiction will celebrate its bicentennial.
