The 91st Anniversary of DeMolay International; the 90th Annual DeMolay International Supreme Council (ISC) Session and the 43rd Annual International Congress Session will be held in Dallas, TX from June 16th - 19th. DeMolay International is a Masonic youth group for young men that is dedicated to preparing young men between the ages of 12 and 21 to lead successful, happy and productive lives.

This annual event hosts an array of fun activities and events to include the election of ISC officers for the upcoming year. The ISC serves as the governing body of DeMolay International. A Grand Master and four other elected officers provide leadership for DeMolay International. In addition, the ISC is the authority on all matters relating to Chapters, Advisory Councils, members, charters, finances, Rituals, disputes, appeals and complaints. Ultimately, this governing body is a very important part of the continued success of DeMolay International. It is a great honor and privilege to serve on the ISC as an elected officer especially as the Grandmaster of DeMolay International, and New Mexico has something to be especially proud about during this years ISC & Congress Session.
