Our Lodge

Lodge Chief
Zach M.

Lodge Vice Chief
Grace J.

Hello my name is Grace and I am honored to be serving as the Lodge Vice Chief for this term. Over the next year I want to help the lodge in ways that will benefit its members for years to come. Part of this means working on our inclusivity within our lodges towards all peoples, this may mean installing a safe space at events or just spreading support to scouts throughout the lodge. I also want to work towards having an open and welcoming community within our lodge. This may seem like a simple task, but it requires everyone’s help. I want all members of our Lodge to feel welcomed, and this means getting to know everyone within the lodge one way or another. As a whole, I want to ensure our lodge is living up to the mission of the Order of the Arrow: to be the reason why scouts stay in scouting.

Hi! I’m Malia Karau, and I’m excited to serve as the Lodge Secretary of Fellowship for this upcoming year. I currently serve as the Vice Chief of Program for Wahpekute Lodge and the Conclave Vice Chief of Shows for Section G11. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and continue planning fun events! This will be a great year 🙂

Secretary of Finance
Robert H.

Hello, my name is Robert and I will be serving as the lodge secretary of finance this year. I have two goals for this upcoming term. First, I want to continue to grow our lodge trading post and add more items to its collection. Additionally, I want to assist chapters in what they are able to do with their funds to promote the ideals of OA with events. I hope this upcoming term brings great ideas to our lodge and chapters.

Secretary of Membership
Ben B.

Hello, I’m Ben. I am going to be serving as the Lodge Secretary of Membership. Throughout my time in Totanhan Nakaha Lodge, I’ve served as the chapter chief and chapter secretary of communications for Shorelines Chapter M. Overall, throughout the 26-27 year, I want to help our order achieve something that’s been on an all time low recently. Membership. Bringing people back to events. Staying active through our lodge, Achieving Brotherhood Honor. Membership is key for a lodge to run. I also want to make our election process smoother for all chapters. I am willing to provide lots of knowledge of the election process. 

Throughout this year, these goals will allow me to better serve not only chapters, but also the Lodge. In this position of leadership, I hope to serve the lodge as best as I can to have a smooth and fun election season and get more people into our order. I can not wait to work with you all as the Lodge Secretary of Membership for 2026-2027.

Secretary of Inductions
Thomas D.

Hi, my name is Thomas Dziedzic, I am a brotherhood member out of Chapter K, and I am excited to serve as the Secretary of Inductions! With the inductions process being re-envisioned nationally, everything has been moved to the lodge level, and I have the honor of spearheading it all. I hope to transition our lodge smoothly into the new systems, while keeping the emphasis on our core values of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service. Additionally, I am striving to continue our great induction weekends for all of our incoming members! 

 

Secretary of Service

My goals for the year are to help our lodge give as much service as we can to help the community that supports us and to have our service have a good sense of brotherhood as we go about it to grow as a lodge.

Hey I am Ben B, and I will be serving as the lodge Secretary of Training this year. My goals for this year are to ensure that trainings are not only fun, but also valuable to all Arrowmen in our lodge
