Here I believe it depends on the Lodge. I was at the annual GL session yesterday. There was mention of MM not doing the work, or having proficiency before joining other appendant lodges. I agree there should be a waiting period, maybe a year minimum.
The lodges here that mention proficiency in Lodge, you have a card to so proficiency for each degree? MM degree would be the dues card? I'm just curious how other jurisdiction work.
I dont have a problem with proficiency in lodge, tho I can do the lectures no problem. Does this slow down the time between degrees? If you have 4 people that do the EA degree, do you what until everyone is proficient? or do you confer degrees as candidates are ready?
This is my 3rd edit....lol. Do you think it retains membership activeness more or less?
