Sir Knights,

On behalf of the Grand Commandery, I extend my sincere appreciation to each of you for your steadfast commitment, discipline, and unwavering dedication to the noble principles of our Order. It is both an honor and a responsibility to serve as your Most Eminent Grand Commander, and I am proud of the collective progress we continue to make across the Washington Jurisdiction. The Annual Reports presented herein by your elected officers, the Very Eminent Deputy Grand Commander, Generalissimo, Captain General, Treasurer, and Recorder, reflect not only the operational state of this Grand Commandery but also the spirit of excellence, accountability, and forward momentum that defines our work. I encourage each Sir Knight to carefully review these reports, as they provide transparency, insight, and a shared understanding of our achievements and areas of continued growth. Together, we will continue to strengthen our Commandery, uphold our sacred obligations, and ensure that the legacy of W.E.B. DuBois Grand Commandery remains both impactful and enduring.

Fraternally and respectfully,

Most Eminent Grand Commander

Miles G. Hicks
