Lodge Leadership

Tipisa Lodge and its chapters are run by dozens of capable youth leaders elected by the members of the lodge, or appointed by those elected leaders. These leaders are advised by selected, capable adults.

  • If you see a vacant position that you are interested in filling, email chief@tipisa.org.
  • If you see a committee you are interested in joining, contact the committee chair.

Each @tipisa.org email address goes to both the youth and adviser for the position (unless it is specific to an adult position, like lodge adviser or staff adviser).
