Welcome Brethren!

Message from the Sovereign Grand Commander

Welcome to our 2008-09 Fellows. As we begin another set of leadership conferences, I look forward to meeting each of you.

It is our goal to further examine and implement the Strategic Plan which was introduced at our Leadership Conferences in 2006. You will find a copy of the plan on our website here.

The Strategic Plan is a result of input from Fellows over the past several years who attended the Regional Leadership Conferences and provided input to the Supreme Council's Strategic Planning Committee. Our Orients and Valleys have been working to put the plan into practice and we are beginning to see positive results in membership and activities throughout the country.

Now, its your turn. Our mission is to meet together and evaluate our progress thus far. Perhaps we can suggest changes and course corrections as needed to make our plan a "living document," one that changes and adapts to circumstances in the Southern Jurisdiction as we move into 2008 and beyond. It's an exciting time and I'm delighted that you have agreed to join in this effort. I thank you as do the Fellows who have proceeded you.

Whether you are attending the Leadership Conference in Birmingham, Dallas, Minneapolis, or Seattle, you will have the opportunity to meet with Scottish Rite brethren from around the country, to make new friends, and to enjoy the brothehood of the Craft! I look forward to seeing you soon.

Fraternally,

Ronald A. Seale
Sovereign Grand Commander
