Brad Koehn, Imperial Potentate:

Fraternal greetings, Nobles. We're thrilled to invite you to the 2026 Noble Academy Membership Conference scheduled for November 6 to 8, 2026 in Washington, D.C. This can't-miss event will take place in a city rich with Masonic heritage, offering both meaningful learning opportunities and a chance to explore the history woven through our nation's capital.

To ensure your temple is well-represented, we strongly encourage budgeting to send at least two key temple leaders, such as a chairman, club and unit leader, or maybe even a member of your Temple Divan. We also invite members of your Nobility who are eager to grow, connect, and experience the legacy of Freemasonry in this historic setting. Spouses are also warmly welcomed as they play an integral role in the overall conference experience.

The Noble Academy Membership Conference will be hosted every other year, beginning in 2026, with the next conference scheduled for 2028. You won't want to miss this. We are still in the early stages of planning. We encourage you to visit the Noble Academy website for updates on registration, hotel reservations, schedule of events, and things to do in Washington, D.C.

Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to strengthening our membership. Thoughtful budgeting now will ensure your temple is well-represented at this impactful event. We look forward to meeting you next fall.

"There's something here for members of every Masonic body, and it's been fascinating. I'm going to take this knowledge back to my Blue Lodge. I know there are members from Scottish Rite and York Rite that are also going to benefit from this information."
