Talk, "The journey ahead: what does Freemasonry have in store for me?"

A talk aimed at new Freemasons, in which I make sense of some of Freemasonry's language and outline the routes available for the new member.

About this event

This is the second in the above series of three talks. It is aimed at new Freemasons and its purpose is to give an indication of what a new member might expect from Freemasonry in his early years, and the possible routes he might take to get the most satisfaction from his membership.

In the talk I explore the various activities and options open to a member, ranging from the progressive offices, through continuing offices and other support activities needed to make a Lodge successful in the 21st century. I also explain the role of other Orders and how a member can progress into Metropolitan / Provincial / District Grand Lodge office. Throughout I use everyday language and also introduce and explain commonly used Masonic jargon, to help new members make sense of the language of Freemasonry.

W Bro. Tony Harvey, PJGD

W Bro. Tony Harvey has held active roles in the membership, mentoring, secretarial, learning & development, charity and communication areas of Freemasonry.

Tony conceived, and between 2015 and 2020 was the main author of, the Members’ Pathway (see https://b.ugle.org.uk/membership). In June 2019, UGLE’s Pro Grand Master described the Pathway as a “game changer.” In February 2020, one of Freemasonry’s most respected social media influencers called it “one of the greatest innovations to Freemasonry in the last 100 years”. Lodges that have used the Members' Pathway report new optimism about the future, a growth in members and improved retention.

Tony has held a number of Masonic lectureships, including the Prestonian Lecture in 2012 with, “Scouting and Freemasonry: two parallel organisations?”, and has delivered talks in every Province in England & Wales, in a number of UGLE's overseas Districts and in Lodges in other jurisdictions around the world.

Tony's talks and articles combine historical analysis with an understanding of organisational development to promote a forward-thinking approach to Freemasonry, based on the evolution of our Lodge practices while retaining our fundamental meaning and purpose.

Tony is a grand officer in the Craft, Royal Arch and Mark and in two other Orders within English Freemasonry. He is currently the Provincial Membership Officer in Nottinghamshire and the Head of Learning & Development in West Kent. 

Professionally, he is a coach, speaker and consultant specialising in leadership, change and organisational development. His published books and articles focus on his own model of personal and organisational change, the Success Cycle.
