Welcome to the Grand Lodge of Tennessee F&AM's LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE'S home page.

In 1994, the Grand Lodge of Tennessee initiated a Masonic renewal movement named VISION 2013. This program was so named, because the Grand Lodge of North Carolina AF&AM chartered the Grand Lodge of Tennessee on December 27, 1813.

VISION 2013 has been a very successful program. In order to build on past efforts and to continue to prepare Tennessee Freemasonry for the challenges of the future, on January 27, 2007, the name of the VISION 2013 committee was officially changed to THE LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE. The committee was charged to continue VISION 2013 and in addition, to develop and implement 5, 10 and 20 year strategic plans for Freemasonry in Tennessee.

The existing VISION 2013 program will become part of the first 5 year plan. The LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE will work closely with other Grand Lodge Committees--especially the Ways and Means, Building Restoration, Education and State of the Craft Commmittees.

All Masons and guests are welcome to attend committee meetings. The next Committee Meeting will be held on Saturday January 30, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. Central Time at the Grand Lodge Buildling
