George T. Grier was a man of integrity who could visualize, organize and supervise. He hailed from Illinois and served as the first State President.
Brother Grier made numerous noteworthy contributions to the growth of the National, most notably the founding of the School of Ushering. In 1948, with the help of the Illinois Ushers, he gave a demonstration of Church ushering. Also, he designed the National Pin and wrote the Ushers Universal Manual and Handbook. He offered a Resolution that a National School be organized in 1951. As a result, he was appointed the first Chairperson.
In 1952, when he was Chairperson of the School, 210 graduates walked across the stage to receive diplomas at the first National Graduation. In 1955, he organized the 7:00 A.M. Ushers’ Workshop. These workshops teach Ushers the silent uniform method of Church ushering by means of signal codes. In 1961, in Denver, Colorado, the School was given the name “George T. Grier School of Ushering” honoring the man who had contributed so much to the Department. Brother Grier was fondly given the name “Mr. Usher” by President R.E. Harshaw.
