Leading Masonic Organizations: To Build and Sustain the York Rite of Freemasonry

By Ashley Moyé

Few Freemasons understand the dynamics of the York Rite, its structure, its interdependence and its complexities. This lack of knowledge has been detrimental to organizations, causing leadership pitfalls and years of counterproductive practices. Adverse practices start in the Lodge and the face of a struggling Lodge is often reflected in a struggling Chapter, Council and Commandery. Leaders repeatedly set the conditions and ignore the signs over and over again.

This book brings forward the works of a York Rite success story. It relates a tough discussion about a need for change in how organizations might be formed in a more sustainable fashion. How might leaders build where they are, while building towards where they want to be? How can members recognize adverse practices, competing interests, conflict, and consequential struggles? How might leaders adapt practices to ensure continued membership growth and retention?

The author suggests strategic approaches to building growth and improving retention and assessing organizational health and sustainability with the future of the fraternity in mind. This book is recommended for all Freemasons, and current leaders and aspiring members of the York Rite.
