Our Lodge
Meet your 2023-2024 Lodge Officers
Lodge Chief - Forrest O.
There are 3 big reasons I took on the position of lodge chief. 1. I wanted to fill up the lodge calendar. There is a ton of opportunities for OA events throughout the year and I want to give all arrowmen a ton of events they can attend. 2. I wanted to make conclaves as polished as possible. You should be able to go to any conclave and get the same great experience. 3. I love the OA, going to OA events makes me super happy and I want to go to as many as I can.
Lodge Vice Chief - Thomas H.
Going into our 100th year as a Lodge, I really wanted to help make a difference in the lives of our members. Scouting is a really amazing program, and the Order of the Arrow even more so. Over the next year I plan on reforming the unit elections process, helping with the creation of a service corps for our lodge, and making our 100th year as amazing as I know it can be. From the past, I await a new beginning.
Lodge Secretary of Communications -
Riley S.
I accepted this position because I wanted to understand how communication works in our lodge and the Order of the Arrow in general and see what I can do to make communication better for the present and the future. Some goals I have are to get every OA Member in our lodge access to communication sent out by OA officers, to accommodate all sorts of online communication while keeping them active, and to train our officers on how to use the communication tools we have available as well as how to effectively get their messages across in any form of communication as we prepare for our Lodge’s Centennial. Looking forward to an amazing year.
Lodge Secretary of Program -
Pascal C.
My name is Pascal Carr, and I am from chapter L. I accepted this position as a Lodge Secretary because I would like to take further steps in leadership, and grow through the new experiences. My primary goal for this year is to help with planning for events for the Centennial celebration next year. I am excited to work with the other youth planning it.
Lodge Secretary of Finance-
Oliver J.
My name is Oliver Jurek, and I am from Chapter M. I accepted the position of Lodge Secretary of Finance because I wanted to grow in myself personally but to also help the lodge and share my excitement for OA. My goals for this year are to help the lodge financially, see how the lodge operates and learn about managing the lodge’s budget and trading post.
I am also working on the Centennial Committee as Memorabilia Chair. This will give me the opportunity to not only be creative but help plan a large event.
I enjoy being a part of the OA and going to many events, as it gives me so many opportunities to meet other OA members and share my excitement for OA. I am excited to see the lodge grow over the next year.
Lodge Secretary of Membership - Hannah M.
I accepted this position because I wanted to help reshape the way that unit elections were being conducted to better prepare chapters to serve their units. One of my goals for the year is to move away from just elections to unit visitations. This change will expand the length of time that the OA chapter members are visiting a unit and allow them to share all about the Order of the Arrow and what it has to offer.
I am also proud to be the NOAC youth chair.
