Past Masters’ Forum

Wisdom Beyond the East — The Forum Where Leadership Grows

About

What the Past Masters’ Forum is

The Past Masters’ Forum is a one-day seminar run by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Its aim is to educate and inform those who have served their Lodges as Master with opportunities to give back to their Lodge or to seek further light in Masonry outside the Lodge.

Our mission

Help those who have experience in serving their Lodge discover and focus that experience for the benefit of those that follow.

What we promise you

We promise to show that the journey through your officer line did not end after you handed your Lodge’s Charter to your successor. We will show you ways to use what you have learned or pursue paths to learn more.

Who should attend?

The Past Masters’ Forum is aimed at those who have served as Master of their Lodge and have concluded, or are about to conclude, their term as Master.
