Figure 17. EA/FC Failure to Advance, 1997-2017
Figure 17, above shows the EA and FC Failure to Advance numbers from 1976 through 2017. This chart is
slightly diff erent from the prior charts which show trends for existing membership; while this graph represents
those who for some reason failed to continue to advance and become a Master Mason and a member of his
Lodge. Mostly the records on failure to advance have only really been kept since we transitioned over to
ROLLS in 2008 and now with GrandView. The most signifi cant information here is that the trend of the
number of failures to advance appears to be increasing while our membership is continuing to decrease.
Now might be a good time!
