New Charities Coordinator MacLean Rankin

As Scottish Rite bids a fond farewell to Mary Ann Bichajian, who retired on September 30, 2021, we welcome Brother MacLean “Mac” Rankin to the position. Most recently, Brother Rankin served as administrative assistant for the Valley of Boston, where he was the first face seen when entering the office and helped their programs run smoothly.

Brother Mac’s fraternal career began at the age of 14, when he joined DeMolay in Massachusetts. He was also raised as a Master Mason in Saint George Lodge in Brockton, Massachusetts. He plans on joining Scottish Rite in November of this year through the Valley of Boston.
