Our Leadership in Action

The Mid-Hudson District leadership works together to:

  • Support our lodges with guidance, education, and ritual excellence.

  • Strengthen fellowship by encouraging inter-lodge visitation and collaboration.

  • Represent the district at Grand Lodge events and bring resources back to our members.

  • Mentor the next generation of leaders through the Masters & Wardens Association and Past Grand Lodge Officers.

Fraternal leadership in our district is not only about governance—it’s about service, mentorship, and building bonds of brotherhood that extend across all our lodges.

The Mid-Hudson District represents lodges across Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, and Ulster Counties — united by a commitment to brotherhood, tradition, and service. 

The Grand Lodge of New York is the governing body of Freemasonry in the State of New York, tracing its lineage back to 1781.  
It oversees more than 500 lodges and upholds the values of integrity, brotherly love, and truth across the Empire State.
