Midlothian Lodge 211 Officers & Committees

Choose two brothers who will be the first two lodge mentors.

1. One serves two years and trains the next two
2. One serves one year - The next two year brother starts so you always have an experienced brother serving.

 

Mentors share these common attributes:

• Has the time and commitment to truly help, aid and assist the Candidate assigned to them.

• Provides guidance and support aimed in a positive direction.

• Has a positive attitude- The kind of Mason who asks the question, “What’s good about this?”

• Believe that enthusiasm is a force multiplier.

• Has a track record of being a good team player in the Lodge.

• Is an active listener who tailors his approach to the Candidate’s needs.

• Is well informed about the Craft and the workings of the Lodge.

• Has a true desire to help another man grow in Freemasonry.

• Allows open and honest discussion and does not cut off the conversation if a topic makes him

feel uncomfortable.

• Mentors use their experiences as a beacon of wisdom, but always make past references

fit the current situations.

• The best coaches are the best listeners. Those coaches learn who their players are and what

motivates them to do their best.

• These are the Brothers who can find the “good news” in any situation.

• They do not use Mentoring as a pulpit to tell war stories.
