There is no requirement for us to do it, however, you can do it. I'm doing mine Monday. I don't think it'd hurt for it to be a requirement though. Especially to be an officer.
I'm from Alberta, Canada. This is what the grand lodge from Alberta emailed me, "A Master Mason who has not proven up is called a Master Mason. He took the OB and was raised accordingly. Can he hold a chair, yes he can as can a FC in some instances depending on the chair - although that is up to the lodge Master, bylaws and constitution where you reside. "
In Kentucky you don't have to do your MM proficiency but you can go no farther in the chairs than Senior Deacon without it. You can assume the Junior Warden chair without it but you must complete it within 6 months or you will be removed.
