Hiram Award Recipients
The Hiram Award
|
|
The Hiram Award is the highest honor a Lodge can confer upon one of its members. It is awarded once per year by the Lodge and may be received only once in a Mason’s lifetime. Unlike elected or appointed positions within the Lodge, this distinction is not related to ritual work, memorization, or holding office. It is about dedicated service.
|
Every Master Mason who has been in good standing for a minimum of ten (10) years is eligible for consideration. The award recognizes a Brother whose contributions go well beyond the ordinary. He is someone who consistently shows up, works hard, supports his fellow Masons, and reflects Masonic ideals both within the Fraternity and in the wider community.
The Hiram Award was created to honor those often described as the unsung heroes who help keep a Lodge strong. These are the men who arrive early, lend a hand wherever it is needed, and contribute with quiet consistency. The award reflects the principle of servant leadership by recognizing actions and character rather than title or position.
Authorized by the Grand Lodge of California, the Hiram Award is presented by the Brethren of the Lodge to a member they believe truly embodies the spirit and principles of Freemasonry.
