Who presides over a Masonic lodge meeting?

• A. The Grand Master
• B. The Worshipful Master
• C. The Senior Warden
• D. The Tyler

Answer: (B)

The presiding officer at a lodge meeting is the Worshipful Master. He is elected by the lodge to lead and conduct the meeting, call the lodge to order, manage the agenda, and rule on parliamentary procedure, acting as the lodge’s chief representative in its business. The Grand Master oversees the entire Grand Lodge jurisdiction and does not typically preside over a local lodge meeting. The Senior Warden is the second-in-command and assists the Worshipful Master, stepping in if the Master is unavailable. The Tyler serves at the door and does not preside over the meeting.
