The General Board shall also be composed of five (5) representatives from each Episcopal District. Even numbered Districts shall be represented by two ministers and three lay. Odd numbered Districts shall be represented by three ministers and two lay during the 2021-2024 Quadrennial. At least one member of every Episcopal District shall be a young adult between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five (18-35). The clergy/laity order of district representation is to rotate quadrennially.
