Our leadership

Board of Directors

The General Assembly Nominating Committee nominates candidates for the Board of Directors, and the General Assembly elects them. The number of Directors serving can range from 27 to 36. Their terms run four years; they can serve a maximum of eight years in a row.

No more than 40 percent of the Directors can be ministers of the Word and Sacrament, who might personally benefit from decisions about the Benefits Plan. The rest are members of the Church.

The Directors oversee the investment of plan funds; management and administration of pension, medical, and death and disability benefits; and operation of the Assistance Program. Each Director is named to at least two of eight committees:

• Assistance and Church Engagement
• Audit and Compliance
• Board Development and Governance
• Executive
• Healthcare
• Investment
• Legal
• Pension

Any correspondence for the Board of Directors should be sent to

• implements the Board's mission;
• directs Board activities;
• leads teams to develop short- and long-range plans; and
