DeMolay works because of the partnership between DeMolays and Advisors. Each year at convention we recognize one outstanding DeMolay and one outstanding advisor with awards. Below describes how New York DeMolay will handle nominations for this year. 

 

York Rite Tribune

Each year our friends at the York Rite sponsors the York Rite Tribune Award.  This award recognizes a young man who lives the ideals of DeMolay in his daily life. The investiture ceremony evokes the creation of a knight in the days of the Templars with representatives of all four York Rite Bodies participating. In consultation with the State Advisory Council and the York Rite we are moving to a nomination form for young men to be considered for this award. .

 

 Each Advisory Council is welcome to nominate one young man for this award from their chapter.  Nominations for this award MUST be confidential.  Please also note that per York Rite Policy the recipient may not be a Past State Master Councilor, a sitting State Master Councilor, or the incoming State Master Councilor. He also must not have hit his majority by 8/2/2021.  Nominations are due to “Dad” Brusoe by May 10, 2021 and may be emailed to PWBrusoe@Gmail.com.  You can read more about previous honorees here. 

 

 

 

Guild of the Leather Apron

 

On the adult side, DeMolay International presents an advisor with the Guild of the Leather Apron. This award recognizes an outstanding adult volunteer who has rendered exceptional service to the Order of DeMolay. In order to be considered the nominee must be a registered advisor for New York DeMolay, and may not be a previous recipient of the award here in New York. Any active DeMolay or registered advisor in New York is permitted to make a nomination. Self-nominations are not permitted and nominations for this award MUST be confidential. The nomination form may also be found on the downloads page.

Our list of previous honorees may be found here. Some years are missing, if you are able to help us fill in the blanks please let "Dad" Brusoe know. 

 

For both of these awards many will be nominated, but we are only permitted to award one a year.
