PROVINCIAL MEMBERSHIP OFFICER
Worshipful Brother Simon P Mann

The role of the Provincial Membership Officer is part of the recommendations from UGLE’s Membership Focus Group and the purpose is to help improve the attraction, selection, mentoring care for members and retention rates as well as aiding Lodges in developing and implementing a membership strategy, with a view to attracting suitable candidates.

The Provincial Membership Officer will help identify and share ‘best practice’ which is expected to have a positive impact on candidate growth and retention within the Province of Cornwall. The Provincial Membership Officer is responsible for continuing and evolving the concept of pro-active recruitment in the Province. This is intended to provide an opportunity for men who currently have no Masonic connections to find out more about Freemasonry in general. The role includes promoting Freemasonry at all appropriate opportunities including Community Shows, Exhibitions, Lodge Open Days at Masonic Halls and to follow up on any membership enquiries.
