ASST. STEWARD -
LADY ASST. STEWARD-
CHAPLAIN - The member in charge of leading prayers and reminding the membership of their responsibilities toward the creator. It should be added that no grange member is ever asked to violate tenets of his or her faith, whatever that may be, as long as those tenets do not interfere with the equally important tenets of the rest of the membership. As a result Grange membership has always been open to all people of good will regardless of their religious affiliation.
SECRETARY - The secretary is responsible for keeping and posting accurate records of the meetings, carrying on correspondence as required, keeping photos of grange functions and other records as directed by the Master.
TREASURER - The treasurer is responsible for paying authorized bills, keeping accurate financial records and managing the money in the grange's accounts.
GATE KEEPER - The gate keeper is responsible for monitoring attendance at meetings and limiting entrance during meetings to authorized guests and those in possession of the pass word.
