The Memorial Association Officers

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association serves nearly two million Freemasons in the United States through fifty-two Grand Lodges, i.e., fifty states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. It was created in 1910.

A twenty-one member Board of Directors represents the fifty-two Grand Lodges with only Past Grand Masters being eligible for election. Each Board member serves a three-year term. The Board meets twice a year. The Executive Committee oversees Memorial business when the Board is not in session. The day-to-day operations of the Memorial building and the Association are handled by a paid, professional staff located at the Memorial.
