Updated Manual for Officers Now Available

In a continued effort to provide leadership resources to our Valley leaders and members, the Supreme Council has updated its Manual for Officers.

The newly published edition, the first since 2007, contains historic notes on the Scottish Rite, suggestions for degree exemplification, protocol and etiquette tips, and administrative procedures as well as helpful hints to make Valleys run smoothly.

“One of the things we have seen as we visited our Valleys is that an up-to-date resource was necessary for Valley officers,” said George T. Taylor, 32°, Director of Valley Relations. “This new manual is the first place a Valley leader can go to get many of his questions answered. From Abbott Scholarships to Valley of Excellence criteria, it’s all there.”

Currently available for download in the Leadership section of the Member Center, the 2020 Edition makes the shift from hardcopy to an electronic resource. “Changes happen fast, so we want to be able to update this manual frequently so that our officers always have current information at their fingertips,” said Executive Director Michael Russell, 32°.
