With a little surprise in the Newly Elected SGIGs.

Congratulations to Illustrious Brother Richard Komraus on His Election to Sovereign Grand Inspector General and Active Member of the Scottish Rite Supreme Council at this Biennial!

We are proud to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Illustrious Brother Rick on his new election. This significant achievement is a testament to our Brother’s dedicated service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our shared Masonic principles. It reflects the high regard in which he is held by his brethren and the confidence we have in his ability to uphold the values of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

We celebrate this well-deserved recognition and look forward to his continued contributions and leadership within the Scottish Rite in Oregon and around the world.

Well done Brother Rick—your dedication and accomplishments are truly an inspiration to us all!
