How do Past Masters contribute to their lodges after their term?

Past Masters contribute to the ongoing work of a lodge by assisting the Worshipful Master with delegated portions of ceremonial degree work, as material published by both the United Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of India notes.

They also support the education of the lodge by instructing brethren and imparting Masonic knowledge to assist in their advancement, as an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website records. Maintaining an active involvement in ritual work serves to keep experienced members engaged in the life of the lodge, as the United Grand Lodge of England states.
