Notes from the Assistant Rabban

Assistant Rabban Brian Geiser and Lady Jami

GREETINGS NOBLES AND LADIES

Myself and Lady Jami are back from Assistant Rabban school in Tampa. It was good to catch up with our counterparts. We compared all of our experiences so far, had some laughs and a few drinks together. As I sat through the classes, I’ve gained a better understanding of some of the things that we haven’t been doing and some ideas on how to improve on some others. Here in the very near future, I will be looking for some volunteers for a committee to discuss the future of EK Shrine and steps to improve the membership and our long-term and short-term goals. This committee will be made mandatory to the divan as a role in the executive board and also will be open to all nobles in the beginning, after we iron out some of the basics. If this is something you would like to be a part of, please reach out to me.

It is nice to see the hard work that is being done to get our finances in order are paying off. This was the first trip where I was not pulled aside for a chat, nor was our Temple the highlight of how not to do things. Thanks Jeff Downing for all your hard work thus far.

I am still looking for feedback on new ideas to get our nobles back involved and active. We still have quite a few nobles that have joined but we have not seen much of them. Please reach out and get their thoughts on what they would like to see differently to help our membership grow, and please communicate this to me.

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at all of our events that are scheduled for this year. If there is any information you need, please feel free to reach out to me and I will answer what I can and get you the answers for anything I can’t answer.
