Scottish Rite is. We are ready to work on a new membership push for candidates on events like “Why the Scottish Rite?”, and more programs like a color guard, and classes named after historic Consistory members. Chambers Nights is on our radar to make a comeback. So, for membership, we will be moving forward. There is a new Ill. Commander-In-Chief of Booker T. Alexander Consistory #117. SP Eduardo Montesinos, 32°. He will lead this consistory into a new year and a technical age utilizing new ways of communication to members within the Orient. His predecessor, Past Commander-In-Chief GIG Reiss Byrd, 33°, helped bring the consistory to where it is now. It is focused on teaching standards, and gaining quality membership which will keep this consistory moving. Ill. Commander-In-Chief SP Montesinos, 32° has the drive and knowledge in technology and the consistory and we are sure that he will lead honorably by example like his predecessor did even during the time of the COVID outbreak years. Past Commander-In-Chief GIG Reiss Byrd, 33° holds the record of the longest serving Commander-In-Chief for Booker T. Alexander with 9 years. He will be serving as the consistory Secretary/KoSA with Ill CIC Montesinos leading the consistory and GIG Howard Martin, 33° as Overseer. Booker T. Alexander Consistory #117 will be back and ready to roll in 2024.
