CONFERENCE OF GRAND MASTERS

OF MASONS IN NORTH AMERICA

An annual meeting of the Grand Masters of Masons in North America.  Currently the membership is the Grand Lodges of the Provinces of Canada, the States of the United States of America, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico,  the States of Mexico, and the American-Canadian Grand Lodge of Germany.  These Grand Masters represent some 2 million Freemasons in North America.  The Conference is the largest gathering of Grand Masters in the world.

        "Considering the checkered history of Masonic congresses and conventions from 1780 to World War I,...no achievement  of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America is more outstanding than its... survival as a voluntary annual meeting of the leaders of the Craft. ...it answers a ...need of Grand Masters to know each other and to learn how others are meeting and handling the problems of the Fraternity in their jurisdictions."  ("A Short History of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America" by M.W. Conrad Hahn, PGM Connecticut, published by the MSA in 1963)
