How is USC DC Different?
The United Supreme Council DC, is where Grand Inspector Generals of all grades have a VOTE. American tradition is "One Person, One Vote", In USC-DC, Each Grand Inspector General has a vote and is a part of the discussion on processes. No behind the scene discussions, all up front. Although, Sovereign Grand Inspector Generals vote on elected members.
Sublime Prince are also involved. We prepare Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret for future leadership, USC-DC is educational, transparent, straight forward, and inviting. USC-DC does not believe in just being around for the ride. Sublime Princes are our future, so USC-DC prepares them for the future. For more information, PUSH THE BUTTON!
