Top 5 Features Masonic Secretaries Love Most

Top 5 features
When we first launched The Working Tools, we listened carefully to Secretaries about their biggest challenges. What they valued most wasn’t extra “bells and whistles” — it was reliable features that save time and reduce stress. Here are the five that Secretaries consistently say make the biggest difference.

  1. 90-Day Forward Planner
Lodge calendars are busy, and missed dates can cause real problems. The forward planner gives Secretaries a rolling three-month snapshot of everything ahead, complete with reminders and delegation options. It makes staying organised simple.

  1. Summons & Minutes Templates
Creating accurate summons and minutes is essential but time-consuming. Templates standardise the process, reduce repetitive work, and securely archive records for future reference. Secretaries save hours every month.

  1. GDPR-Compliant Membership Database
Managing personal member data is a serious responsibility. The Working Tools keeps records encrypted, backed up, and GDPR compliant, giving Secretaries peace of mind while ensuring Lodges remain fully secure.

  1. Candidate Tracker
Tracking candidates through their Masonic journey — from application to initiation — is often messy with spreadsheets or notes. The Candidate Tracker centralises the process, so nothing gets missed and ceremonies run smoothly.

  1. Event RSVP Management
Festive boards are highlights of Lodge life, but RSVP chaos can cause catering headaches. With digital RSVP management, confirmations, dining lists, and even table plans are handled automatically, cutting out the guesswork.

These five features target the most time-consuming admin tasks Secretaries face every month. By making them quicker and simpler, The Working Tools helps Secretaries focus less on paperwork and more on people.

Conclusion
Secretaries don’t want gimmicks — they want tools that work. The Working Tools delivers exactly that: a digital toolkit designed to handle the real challenges of Lodge administration.
