The election of David A. Glattly in the office of Sovereign Grand Commander of the Northern Jurisdiction will take place during the Annual Communication of Rochester in 2017. The announcement was made by the current Sovereign Grand Commander, John William McNaughton, who will retire in August 2017, according to the Masonic Agency. The same source mentions that Glattly is a member of the Craft of over 40 years, he was raised a Master Mason in Clifton Lodge #203 in 1975 and was Worshipful Master in 1995. Also in 1998 he was Grand Marshal of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. Glattly became an honorary member of the Supreme Council in 2000 in Pittsburgh and an active member in 2002 in Boston. He is a member of several Masonic organizations.
According to the SUPREME COUNCIL, 33° NORTHERN MASONIC JURISDICTION, Brother Glattly and his wife Monica live in Hawthorne, New Jersey. They have two children, son Matthew and daughter Jessica. “To our valued members and Brothers,” said Commander McNaughton, “I could not be more pleased to inform you that the Supreme Council’s nominating committee has named David Glattly as your next Sovereign Grand Commander. Brother Glattly has been an active and honored Freemason for more than 40 years, and a member of the Scottish Rite for nearly three decades. Our fraternity will be led by a good man who serves from his heart. He will shoulder great responsibility with intelligence, experience, dedication, and grace.”
The appointment of Brother Glattly marks the first time a new Scottish Rite leader has been announced a year prior to taking office. “These are challenging times for Freemasonry,” said Commander McNaughton. “Your Scottish Rite leadership and I feel it is important to have a thorough and seamless transition for our Fraternity.” Commander McNaughton and Brother Glattly will consult together over the next 12 months to continue the work “we began a decade ago—shifting the priorities of Northern Masonic Jurisdiction back to caring for our members, and bringing compassion to the forefront of our Fraternity,” he said.

Masonic Poem | MEET ON THE LEVEL AND PART ON THE SQUARE by Vincent SPADA
Don't traffic in falsehood
You'll find nothing there
Meet on the level
and part on the square
Keep the faith burning
and always play fair
Meet on the level
and part on the square
Think with your heart
and show that you care
Meet on the level
and part on the square
God gives us glory
As long as we dare
Meet on the level
and part on the square...
