In my Jurisdiction you must be a MM in order to be installed in any chair, so yes they all are MMs. All of our officers for 2019, with the exception of the Treasurer and Stewards, are PMs.
Here, you must be a MM of at least 12 months here to hold office other than Steward - who have no ceremonial role here.... . You cannot be made a MM for less than 12 months after being initiated, hence to take the first progressive office, you will have at least been initiated 24 months prior to taking that office.
"All of our officers for 2019, with the exception of the Treasurer and Stewards, are PMs."
I assume that is not a typo ?
Having that many PMs in office is seen as a disaster here. To sustain the lodge - we need progressive training and succession, and if the PMs are being rotated through the chairs, that does not create succession - hence our keen appetite to take a chance on MMs in office - but those offices are progressive, so the MM in SW has been IG, JD, SD, JW and hence should not be in over his head. We have several common risk points in the progressive line;
A new IG - understanding his job and attendance
A new JD - he is on a learning curve
A potential JW - in taking the Warden you are generally seen as in the final stages of gearing up for Mastership.
SW - a last minute change of circumstance can see him pull out - that's where our PMs often get a look in.
Brother - I have seen many Warrants go in for many reasons - but a classic one is recycling PMs and the exclusion or absence of MMs - does that not worry you ? And if not, I would be interested to hear why and the thinking underpinning your comfort ?
Thanks Bro
