GA22 AGENDA: Policy Regarding Succession in Office of Elected Persons

C. Policy Regarding Succession in Office of Elected Persons

Persons elected to an international, state/regional, or local position serve in their respective elective office until their successor is named, unless there has been a death or a person has been involuntarily removed, or voluntarily resigned. In extenuating unusual circumstances, including but not limited to the following: a global pandemic or regional or national epidemic; regional, national, or global war; natural disaster; or any other event that would demonstrate compelling impact upon the governance of the Church of God, an individual’s tenure in office might exceed the tenure limits set by the International General Assembly.
