On November 11, 1995, he was Coroneted Inspector General, Honorary 33rd Degree at Seattle.

Our Brother’s Grand Lodge tour began with his appointment as Deputy of the Grand Master in District
No. 24 for 1983-1984, and again in 1987. In 1988, he was a member of the Masonic Home Endowment
Committee. In 1989-1990, he served as Grand Chaplain and in 1990-1991 was appointed Grand Bible
Bearer, and in 1991-1992 was a member of the Jurisprudence Committee.

His elective Grand Lodge offices began in June, 1992, when he was elected Junior Grand Warden. He
would progress through the elected line in the usual fashion, being elected Grand Master at the 1995
Annual Communication in Wenatchee.

Throughout his tenure as Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Stedman addressed business related
issues dealing with future funding needs, the Masonic Retirement Center, and board governance. His
focus, however was on the lodges. This was evident in his theme: “Strengthen Our Lodges, The Ties That
Bind”. In his message to the Craft, M⸫W⸫ Brother Stedman shared these words: “As a Fraternity we
certainly have membership and financial needs but the ultimate driving force must be our Masonic Tenets
and Masonic Principles.”

Most Worshipful Brother Glen Preston Stedman remained an active participant in his lodge and Grand
Lodge until he passed to the Celestial Lodge above on April 17, 2005.
