Master's Council
Upon being diagnosed with cancer in 2000, H.U. Lee decided the creation of a council for the governorship of his organization was necessary. In September 2000, Lee formally created the Songahm Master's Council composed of some of his advisers. The first members of the Master's Council included:
- Soon Ho Lee (then 8th Degree/Chief Master, now 9th Degree Black Belt Emeritus)
- Robert Allemier (8th Degree Black Belt)
- In Ho Lee (8th Degree Black Belt then now 9th degree Grand Master)
- William Clark (8th Degree Black Belt)
- G.K. Lee (8th Degree Black Belt)
- M.K. Lee (8th Degree Black Belt)
After being unanimously confirmed by the Master's Council as the next Grand Master Candidate, Soon Ho Lee removed himself from the Master's Council to focus on his training to become Songahm's second Grand Master. H.U. Lee holds an honorary position in the Master's Council.

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or council:
“My master is of churlish disposition,
And little recks to find the way to heaven
By doing deeds of hospitality.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
