District Deputies

New Mexico is currently divided into 11 Districts of Lodges. Within each District, the Grand Master appoints two officers to assist himself and the Grand Lecturer as a local representative: a District Deputy Grand Master and a District Deputy Grand Lecturer.

The District Deputy Grand Master (DDGM) is appointed to act as the representative of the Grand Master to Lodges within his District. His duties generally include making official visits to each Lodge in the District, reviewing the activities of a Lodge with the Lodge leadership and membership, and being a resource to the Lodge leadership or membership for each Lodge within his District. The DDGM will be appropriately addressed as:

The DDGL is appropriately addressed as:
