Michael Wamback PM, our Officers Coach, is in the process of establishing a Mentor program at Sunset Lodge for those who wish to be considered for election as Master at a future date.

The goal of this program is to act as an extension of the Grand Lodge Leadership Retreats. Participants in the program will meet with our Officers Coach on a regular basis to study the Lodge Bylaws, the California Masonic Code, our initiatory ritual, lodge budget and finances, organization of social programs and membership development in our lodge. In addition, those participating in the program will be given the chance to learn skills in presiding over a Stated Meeting.

The goal of the program is to better prepare candidates for election and advancement to the progressive line as an elected officer, in order that their year as Master of Sunset Lodge can be as pleasant as possible for them, as well as to ensure that our lodge benefits from the highest levels of competency in leadership.

To qualify for this program, you need to be a Master Mason of Sunset Lodge in good standing, and have successfully delivered your 3rd Degree Proficiency.
