In 1964 the Grand Lodge Masonic Education
Committee began to recognize individual Lodges that
participated in fostering education and holding programs
open to non-masons. In 1970 the Committee proposed a
list of specific requirements to qualify for the award.
A few  changes
have been made, as well as additional qualifications,
over the years to address current programs. One of the
requisites was a visit to the Masonic Children's Home
by one of the three principal officers. This was dropped
when the Home ceased to operate. In 1999 the Bring a
Friend Night was added and changes allowing proxies
for the principal officers attending the Grand Lodge
Session. Utilizing the programs and requirements of
the Achievement Award is an excellent way for a new
Master to use when setting up his programs for the year.
The Award addresses participation in the respective
District lodge and workshops, education, open meetings
for public attendance and foremost Charity.
