Governance

The Head of the Ancient Order takes the title Sovereign Grand Master. The Sovereign Grand Master also appoints a Deputy Grand Master known as the Grand Legate.

Nationally and Internationally, the Order is divided into Regions, each under the stewardship of a Grand Chancellor.

The Order is governed by an executive known as the Senate, which comprises the Sovereign Grand Master, the Grand Legate (DGM), the Grand Chancellors, the Grand High Reeve (Chief Administrator) and the Grand Collector of Geld (Treasurer).

The King's Council (a formal ceremonial and administrative meeting open to all members of the Order) meets annually, usually adjacent to the annual meeting of the Grand Court of the Masonic Order of Athelstan in England, Wales and Provinces Overseas.
