Recognition Programs

Sponsor Incentive Program

As our fraternity has its sights set on a fifth (5th) consecutive year of membership growth, the Moose International Board of Directors felt it was good timing for a new short-term Sponsor Incentive. Beginning November 1, 2025, each time you sponsor your fifth (5th) new or re-enrolled member into The Moose, you will receive a one-time use code can be used for one of the following:

  • One year of your own Lodge dues
  • Gifted to another member for one year of his/her Lodge dues
  • When using the Online Lodge Membership Application to sponsor a new or re-enrolled member into The Moose, it can be used to pay the applicant’s dues and the $20 application fee

There is no limit on the number of one-time use codes that a Sponsor can earn. This exclusive Sponsor Incentive ends on April 30, 2026, so don’t delay on making the personal invitation to join our fraternity. This program also applies to the Moose Legion and Women of the Moose.

When earning a one-time use code, you will receive an email from Moose International with your exclusive 10-digit code. You will need to have a My Membership Record account to redeem the code. Follow the instructions in the email to redeem for one of the three options listed above. If you misplace or delete the email with the code, please contact the Helpdesk at (630) 906-3658 for a replacement code.

All codes must be redeemed by June 30, 2026.

Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions document for even more information.

Thank you for all you do for our Moose Fraternity!

Fraternal Recognition Program

Members who attended the 2025 International Moose Convention in Milwaukee this past May heard Moose International CEO Scott Hart announce a new Fraternal Recognition Program that is “open to every member – whether you just joined or have had your College of Regents Degree or Pilgrim Degree for 10 years, we all are starting at square one.”

There are four levels within the program – Preferred, Power, Prestige and Platinum. The attached document gives an overview of the entire program, including all four levels, but every member must achieve the first level in order to advance to others.

  • Members may use these instructions to log their volunteer hours on their “My Membership Record”

Many members have already achieved one or more of the criteria to earn Preferred Status. Please include the information attached in your newsletters or during lodge meetings.

Lifetime Achievement Award

Leave a comment

Annually, the Moose Associations each nominate one Lodge member within their Moose Association to be considered for the honor of being recognized as the Order’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. The Associations each determine their own criteria for selecting their nominee. All Association nominees are judged and ranked, with just one Moose Fraternity member recognized during the International Moose Convention for their career of service and dedication to their Moose Lodge, Moose Chapter, Moose Legion, Moose Association, and the Order.

Congratulations to Rodney Hammond from Kissimmee, FL Lodge 2056 for being chosen as the 2025 Lifetime Achievement winner!
