An Officer Roster must be submitted yearly to both the State and Grand Lodge. This is necessary to ensure that local lodges receive important information, membership cards and maintain access to the National FOP Member Information System. If your lodge does not submit an Office Roster, the Information System automatically removes elected officers when the TERM DATE (completed by the lodge) expires and your lodge will no longer have access to those functions. Please contact the Membership Department (Elesha, Victoria or Roxie) if you have any questions on your current Officer Roster or how to access that information, 800-451-2711.Last Half Per Capita will be sent out on February 28, 2018 to all lodges that have not paid a Full Year.
