Who handles the lodge’s minutes and correspondence?

Keeping minutes and handling correspondence is the Secretary’s job. The minutes serve as the official record of lodge proceedings, noting motions, votes, actions taken, and any reports presented. After meetings, the Secretary prepares and distributes the minutes and preserves them as part of the lodge’s permanent records. The Secretary also manages official correspondence—notices of meetings, communications with Grand Lodge and other lodges, and administrative paperwork required by by-laws. This role is distinct from the Treasurer, who handles finances; the Worshipful Master, who presides over the meeting; and the Senior Deacon, who assists the Master and conveys messages.
