Every lodge sees it. We welcome a brand new brother, someone young and fresh and excited, only to see him walk out the door a few months later, or worse yet, no one notices he even left until his dues goes into arrears.
How do we retain brothers? We explore this in The Boom/Bust. What makes a lodge? What breaks a lodge? What is our member retention point and how do we make a new brother a Freemason for life?
