Brother Theodore S. Parvin was an instrumental force in the development of Iowa, both as a territory and as a state, and of Iowa Freemasonry.
Each year the Iowa Conference for Masonic Cooperation presents the T. S. Parvin Award to the Iowa Mason who has conspicuously contributed to the betterment of the Fraternity without expectation of fee or reward. The recipient is selected by a committee consisting of the Grand Master of Masons, the Grand High Priest, the Grand Master of the Council, the Grand Commander, the Sovereign Grand Inspector General, and the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Iowa Conference for Masonic Cooperation. The winner is selected from nominations submitted from all parts of the state. Any Master Mason, Companion, Sir Knight, Master of the Royal Secret, or Noble may nominate a brother for this Award. All Master Masons who are in good standing in any Iowa lodge are eligible if they have never been honored by being elected to any office in one of the state bodies, have not been elected Potentate of an Iowa Shrine Temple, or have not attained the 33rd degree. Please note that previous nominees must be resubmitted for consideration in 2012.
