Are Grand Officers paid ?

[Dontrell Stroman]

So, if the travel expenses are $5,000 a year, do you think that would be out of the reach of some Masons?

Me personally, I wouldn't take the position unless I had to money to support myself

Which means that qualified Masons do not help us. Because of costs. Are we valuing the external above the internal?

Fair question. You don't want to "de-select" a qualified man, even a great leader, from GL office based on the ability to meet the financial requirements. You are expected to not just travel within your jurisdiction (which in the American West involves driving hundreds of miles) but also neighboring jurisdictions and Grand Masters Conference.

FWIW, this is also a concern for those in regional and national offices. This June and July, I have meetings in Buffalo, TN, NM , CO and Dallas. Only TN is paid for.

If your going to be in Albuquerque or Santa fe when you come to NM let me know, id like to buy you lunch
