The
Electoral College's Mentorship
Program
The
Mentorship Program, while admittedly not mentioned anywhere in the Blue
Equinox,
has proven itself as an excellent means for the College to stay in
touch
with local body masters and assist them where they may need guidance in
leadership. Mentors are mandatory for local body Masters who are
of a degree less than Vth, and for Camp in Formation organizers, and
are available by request to Vth degree
Masters. A mentor's responsibilities, as defined
in the guidelines, are to:
1. Stay in close touch with the local body, visiting it as often
as possible, and establish a phone or email
relationship with the Master.
2. Communicate all policy changes or updates issuing from Grand
Lodge to the body master in a timely manner.
3. Report any serious or potentially serious problems to the
appropriate Grand Lodge office in a timely manner.
4. Act as a resource for the body master by A) answering
policy-related questions, B) offering assistance of a
practical nature when possible, C) acting as a personal resource for
the body master by lending a sympathetic ear, and offering advice in a
non-intrusive manner.
5. Submit a report on the status of the local body to the Mentor
Secretary each Equinox.
