Sec. 12.2 One (1) Trustee is to be elected each year for a three (3) year term.

 

Sec. 12.3 If a position becomes vacant for any reason it shall be filled by election for the unexpired term at the next Diocesan Convention.

 

Sec. 12.4 If a Trustee has served two (2) consecutive terms he may not serve again until at least one (1) year after the expiration of his period of service; provided, however, that a Trustee who serves a term of less than two (2) years to which he has been elected to fill a vacancy, shall be eligible for election to two (2) full terms.
