The companion being proposed should be a good representative of the Royal Arch, reflecting the ideals, enthusiasm and commitment to the Order in all ways. The DC Grand Royal Arch Chapter will appoint an Awards committee which will determine who will be awarded the Meritorious Award, and may select one Companions for the Bronze and Silver Awards to be forwarded to the General Grand Chapter by November 30th of each year. The committee will evaluate all aspects of his life, including Masonic, community services, family life, religious activities and more.
