Past Masters Association
of the Grand Lodge, FAAM, of the District of Columbia
Who we are and what we do
The D.C. PMA consists of all the Past Masters of all the Lodges in the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. Our Association usually meets once a year, and we arrange to send an informative newsletter to all DC Past Masters and to hold some interesting events for PMs during the year.
Our Constitution and Bylaws lists our purposes as:
- To aid and support the Grand Master of Masons in the District of Columbia and the Grand Lodge in all Masonic activities
- To assist Masonry in the jurisdiction by seeking, through appropriate and practical means, to engender increased interest in every aspect of Masonry
- To encourage communication, cooperation and fellowship among the Brethren of the several Masonic Lodges in this metropolitan area
- To initiate and implement appropriate projects in support of these purposes with the approval of the Grand Master
- To promote the advancement and general welfare of Masonry.
