A Note from the Chief Executive Officer
“One of the greatest privileges I’ve had this past year has been the opportunity to visit with members from across our Fraternity. Whether it’s at a lodge celebration, an Association Convention, a Moose Legion celebration, or simply sitting around a table sharing ideas, I am continually reminded of what makes the Moose so special. Our members care deeply about this Fraternity. They care about their lodges, Mooseheart and Moosehaven, and perhaps most encouraging of all, they care about where we are headed. Everywhere I travel, members ask many of the same questions: “How is our membership doing?” “What new opportunities are available for our lodge?” and “How can we help build an even stronger Fraternity?” The answer has never been more exciting!
This year we are launching one of the most ambitious membership initiatives in our modern history – our One Mission – One Fraternity – One Million Campaign. As we move toward this historic milestone of One Million Memberships, every member, every lodge, and every association has an opportunity to be part of the journey. Rather than waiting to celebrate the millionth membership, we want to recognize everyone whose efforts will make that milestone possible. More than $350,000 in cash rewards, Life Memberships, and more will be awarded as membership milestones are achieved, making this a celebration the entire Fraternity can share. Our first campaign milestone comes when we reach the 975,000 membership – more details will be available here on our website.
Growing our membership is only part of the story. The Moose International Board of Directors has also committed $3,000,000 in grant funding to help lodges improve their facilities, strengthen their visibility within their communities, and create an even better experience for members and guests. In addition, more than $1,000,000 has been committed to charter new lodges throughout the United States and Canada, bringing the Moose experience to communities that have never had the opportunity to become part of our Fraternity. When you look at these initiatives together, a common theme begins to emerge. We’re investing in people, in our lodges, and in the future of our Fraternity.
