PMC-MSA

The Past Master Councilor Meritorious Service Award was originated by the Founder of the Order of DeMolay, “Dad” Frank S. Land. He recognized the tremendous advantage gained by the Master Councilor in having a pre-planned program for his term of office. When such a program has been planned and distributed to the Chapter membership in printed form, the Master Councilor has gone a long way in achieving goals he has set.
 
While the newly elected Master Councilor is the only one qualified to apply for and achieve the award, he cannot do it alone. The requirements can only be met through the combined efforts of the entire Chapter. The Master Councilor must provide the leadership to inspire his fellow DeMolays toward a well-rounded program.
 
“Dad” Land wrote the qualifications for the award and designed the jewel, which is now proudly worn by those who have accomplished success in their term as Master Councilor. We hope that you will qualify for this coveted award.

During your term of office, you must meet all of these requirements. Be sure to refer to this list when completing your term plan:
- Confer or see that degree teams exemplify both degrees from memory, at least once.
-  Induct at least enough new members to meet your term goal
-  Hold at least one social, civic service/philanthropy project, Masonic service, athletic, and fund-raising activity in the Chapter.
- Be proficient in the Master Councilor's Ritual work as certified by a ritual advisor
-  Observe each Obligatory Day falling within the term 
-  Establish a program that increases or maintains a high level of attendance at Chapter meetings.
-  See that all Form 10’s, reporting new members inducted during your term of office, are submitted to DeMolay International, with payment, within 10 days of induction or obligation.
-  See that all of the Chapter’s required reports and payments are submitted to DeMolay International on
time, for due dates falling within your term of office.
