2021-2023 Grand Lodge Officers

Our biennial convention took place in July, 2021 at the Kitsap Conference Center  on the beautiful Bremerton, Washington waterfront. It was hosted by our WA  lodges Thea Foss #45, Nina Grieg #40, and Prillar Guri #30. We explored our  culture and heritage through talks and hands-on workshops, and held our delegate  business meetings. Walking tours and excursions in the Bremerton area gave us the  opportunity to celebrate our sisterhood. 

We are excited that our 2023 convention will be held in Reno, Nevada, hosted by local lodges Sonja Henie #29 - Reno NV, Queen Maud #42 - Carson City NV, and  Elise Wærenskjold #48 - Roseville CA.  

The best way to learn more about our sisterhood is to attend a lodge meeting where  you will be warmly welcomed. I invite you to click on our interactive map to  locate a lodge near you. If no convenient lodge is located in your area, please  consider joining us as an Associate Member, which is a way to be connected to our  sisterhood without a lodge affiliation. Perhaps you will be inspired to start a new  lodge in your area!convention_2023_transparent_edited.png  Click on Contact/Join at the top of this page for further  information.
