The Memorial Association Officers

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.
