Masonic Communications
The Improvement Delivery Group (IDG) was set up in Summer 2016 with the objective of taking forward the initiatives begun by the Membership Focus Group (MFG). The IDG has been developing initiatives and leading the implementation and delivery of the strategy for Freemasonry to 2020.
The 2020 Strategic Objectives:
- Effective governance at all levels; a Leadership Development programme; reviewing and revising the governance arrangements of Grand Lodge.
- Improved attraction and retention of members, so that membership remains above 200,000; resignations before receipt of Grand Lodge certificate to reduce from 20 per cent to less than 10 per cent; and local media coverage to have incremental year-on-year growth of more than 20 per cent.
- Developing the financial sustainability of our masonic halls.
The IDG formed six working groups; Governance, Leadership, Membership, Education, Masonic Halls and Image.
The Image Group, follows the Board of General Purposes’s Communications Committee. Its brief is to look at ways of enhancing the image of Freemasonry, both to masons and to non-masons. The image of Freemasonry is seen as key to its enjoyment and willingness to recruit the right people to join us.
The IDG is actively pushing forward the work of these groups looking at better ways of communicating with members, making better use of the membership information, and collecting the information that is missing.
Attracting New Members and Retaining Existing Members
Fundamental to both of these objectives is the creating of a strong online presence and the online engagement of both Masons and non-Masons to help attract new members and engage existing Freemasons on their journey.
