Officer & Adviser History

The borders of our OA regions and sections have changed several times since the founding of our Order in 1910. Our current section was renamed in 2021-2022 along with all regions and sections in the National OA structure. The borders of our section, and therefore lodge members, remained as they had been when we were Central Region Section 6A in 2013, however at the 2022 Conclave we formally took on our new name of Eastern Region Section 1 (E1). Because our geographical structure remained the same, we will include our history of officers and advisers for Section C-6A and Section E1 below.
