In 1959 Sister Lillian Gill held the first Leadership Traning Class in Benton Harbor, Michigan.  Other classes were held in Michigan; Muskegon, Flint, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Detroit, River Rouge, Inkster, Abion, and Lansing.  Classes were also held in Ohio, Georgia, Alabama, Illinois, and Indiana.  The leadership Class held in Birmingham, Alabama, led to developing a new Lodge and Chapter in Washington, D.C. Leadership Classes held in Savannah, Georgia, led to setting up South Carolina.  Not only did Sister Gill travel from state to state teaching and helping, develop one Grand Chapters, she also wrote several books for our Order;

The Constitution for the Exalted Degree

Sister Lillian Gill served for many years as the Supreme Educational Director.  When Sister Gill retired, Sister Ruth Lott became the Interim Supreme Educational Director and served for two years.

Sister Thelma Davis was not the Supreme Educational Director but created the Administrative Degree, which was a great tool given to both Brothers and Sisters.

Sister Barbara Williams was then appointed over Education and was the first to be called Supreme Secretary of Education.  Sister Barbara Williams served until her death in 2010.

Sister Geraldine Lynch was appointed Supreme Secretary of Education when her tenure as National Grand Matron ended. 
Sister Lynch thought it important that the Supreme Leadership Class have a name. It was her suggestion that the Class is named after Sister Lillian Gill, for several reasons; Sister Gill was the first to do Leadership Training, the number of years she served, and naming the class after Lillian Gill was a great tribute to her memory.  Naming the Supreme Leadership Class after Lillian Gill was accepted and approved by the Supreme President, Illustrious James O. Dogan 33, in 2015. Sister Lynch retired in July 2019 after serving as Supreme Secretary of Education with a Supreme Assistant Secretary of Education and approximately 30 National and Grand Secretaries of Education working with her.

In July of 2019, after being Supreme Assitant to Sister Lynch for 3 years,
Sister Michelle Williams-Slaten was appointed Supreme Secretary of Education by Illustrious James O. Dogan, 33 Supreme President, and CEO.
