OA LodgeMaster can track an infinite number of positions for each member. The software comes pre-loaded with built-in positions (like Lodge Chief, Chapter Chief, OA Troop/Team Unit Representative, etc.), but lodges can create custom leadership positions to track. Your lodge might have a number of different committees and chairmen, and OA LodgeMaster does not limit you. For example, you could create a new position like 'Winter Banquet Chairman' or even an official 'Lodge Songmaster.' In other words, you'll be able to track virtually any leadership position.
OA LodgeMaster also allows you to track individual 'roles' at events. These are responsibilities that a lodge member might have that doesn't really fit into a leadership position, as it doesn't really have a term. For instance, you might want to note that an individual was the cook at an event or led the chapel service. This can all be tracked through the Event Manager and is viewable right in the member's record.
A lot of OA members take on more than one role at a time, so OA LodgeMaster allows individuals to be in multiple leadership roles at once. When you view the list of Leadership Positions for a member, you'll be able to easily tell what positions he/she currently holds, as well as when the job responsibilities started and end.

Yes, OA LodgeMaster has the ability to track information related to the Performance Measurement Program petition requirement that is specific to contacting all units in the council who wish to hold a unit election and receive camp promotion information.
In order to do this, OA LodgeMaster can store a complete list of units in the council. A Scoutmaster unit leader and another unit contact person can be linked to the unit, so your lodge knows who to contact when it comes time to schedule unit elections or camp promotion visitations. Scoutmasters are stored just as any other member would be but would be specified as non-members if they are not Arrowmen.
In addition to contact information for the units, other details, such as meeting date, time, and location can be stored to aid in scheduling visitations.
Once a visitation has been completed, this can be tracked in OA LodgeMaster and contributes to the count of units contacted or visited toward the Performance Measurement Program requirements. In addition, the unit contact manager includes an easy way to input candidate information for those scouts selected to become members of the OA at a recent election.
