Grand Lodge Committee on STRATEGIC PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

 

Charter: The Grand Lodge Committee on Strategic Planning and Implementation was established for the purpose of thinking ahead to where Virginia Freemasonry is, where it is going, and what is attainable.  The Strategic Planning Committee have developed a Strategic Plan to overcome the major issues confronting our Fraternity today — one that will be implemented and continuously improved as progress is made and lessons are learned — to achieve the Mission and Vision statements of the Grand Lodge of Virginia.  The full Plan may be found by clicking here. 

 

In order to be successful in this, the Grand Lodge of Virginia has defined a strategy, known as the "Strategic Plan."   It will guide major activities throughout Virginia over the coming years.  The strategy is composed of five major objectives with supporting goals and actions. 

 

Objective Number 1:   Is to strengthen our Masonic cultural norm that behavior is always to be based on Masonic values and standards. 

 

Objective Number 2:   Is to develop a tailored program to strengthen the subordinate Lodges. 

 

Objective Number 3:   Is to develop an effective membership development program that attracts a larger number of high-quality candidates for membership. 

 

Objective Number 4:   Is to develop a community outreach program to improve public understanding and appreciation of Masonic values and contributions. 

 

Objective Number 5:   Is to ensure that the DDGM, Grand Lodge Committee and District Team roles and structure are optimized to best support Grand Lodge objectives as well as district and subordinate Lodge needs. 

 

As we are able to realize significant progress toward these objectives, we will draw closer to the ultimate Vision of the Grand Lodge of Virginia: “…to be the premier organization composed of men of integrity and character…,” and we will keep safe the future of our Craft so that we and our successors may continue to receive the joys of friendship, morality and brotherly love.
