April 16 - 17 marks the dates for the first ever Scottish Rite National Leadership Conference being hosted at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is the location of the first "Lodge of Perfection" in the United States (Loge de Prafaits d'Ecosse, 1764).
The Supreme Council has held regional leadership conferences for many years and as a new approach it has been decided to host one national conference in 2010 to better focus collective efforts of the entire Southern Jurisdiction on the most important part of the fraternity - members.
Topics of discussion to be covered during this national conference include: leadership, education, public relations, finances, and membership.
This promises to be a wonderful event full of exciting learning opportunities, fun and fellowship.
