J. Ned Culler Award
THE J. NED CULLER AWARD
FOR MASONIC EXCELLENCE
Freemasonry, at its heart, is an educational institution. Upon his Raising, every Freemason begins a search for light that takes his entire lifetime and beyond to find. Searching for light means a quest to become more knowledgeable about the Craft, our world, and our inner self. The search means we must be involved in education. The J. Ned Culler Award is given to a Brother who has attained a high degree of excellence in our ritual, Masonic Education, or service to his Lodge, and has dedicated his Masonic life to the betterment of the Lodge and brother Masons through education, research, demonstrated mentoring, and furthering of the lofty goals of our Ancient Craft.
In every generation, there appear among us giants among men who shape and alter the world around them in a highly positive way. J. Ned Culler was one of those giants. He helped and nurtured Masons who firmly believe in the value of Masonic Education and the effect that Masonic Education has on leadership. Brother Ned once said that “leadership is education and education is leadership.” Brother Ned’s life was centered on the precepts so eloquently put forth in our Ritual. He firmly believed in performing excellent ritual work and living out the meaning of the Ritual in his daily life.
James Ned Culler lived out this creed with the utmost humility and distinction. He brought to light the essence of Freemasonry and has led many of the Craft’s leaders to be involved in “higher thoughts and greater achievements.” He stood as a beacon of light for Masonic Education throughout his 40 year Masonic journey. It is a good and proper thing we do to pay homage to this outstanding man and Mason.
