February 22, 2010 will be the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Memorial Association. The Memorial is currently preparing for this momentous occasion with the addition of several exciting new exhibits and projects, new renovations to the building and a formal program to be held at the Memorial in conjunction with the Conference of Grand Masters of North America when it meets in Virginia in February 2010.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association serves nearly two million Freemasons in the United States through 52 Grand Lodges (50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico). It was created in 1910.

A 21-member Board of Directors represents the 52 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.
