What are the duties of the Secretary in a Masonic Lodge?

Recording the minutes, settling the accounts, and issuing summonses for regular meetings form the primary duties of a lodge Secretary upon his investiture 2.

At the level of a Grand Lodge, the Secretary is charged with keeping an official record book containing all constituent lodges, their meeting times and places, the names of all members, and all general business proper to be written down 1. During the installation of a lodge Master, the Grand Secretary (or acting Secretary) is responsible for reading the summary of ancient charges and regulations to the Master-elect 2, later proclaiming the newly constituted lodge and notifying the other regular lodges across the jurisdiction 2.
