Distinguished Companion Award
During the 160th Grand Chapter Convocation, the Grand Chapter Officers presented a proposal to honor a Companion or Companions, who were deserving of recognition for their commitment and dedication to their respective Chapters. The proposal was accepted by the voting delegates and the Distinguished Companion Awards were ordered. The Distinguished Companion Award is a medal in the shape of a keystone suspended on a red ribbon. A triple tau is displayed in the center and the words “Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons - State of Indiana” surrounding the triple tau. The words Distinguished Companion is on the bottom of the keystone. The Companion’s name will be inscribed on a plate above the red ribbon. The cost of this beautiful award is $50.00 and the awards are in limited supply.
