Regional NYI Caucus
A Regional NYI Caucus is convened during the Global NYI Convention. The caucus provides for inspirational sessions and programs to advance youth ministry across the region. Reports are received, leadership is elected, and any legislative business pertaining to the work of NYI on the region is transacted at the caucus.
The Regional NYI Council, in cooperation with the global NYI director, arranges for and oversees the Regional NYI Caucus.
The Regional NYI Caucus is composed of the members of the Regional NYI Council, the regional director and/or regional youth coordinator, and the delegates from the region to the Global NYI Convention who are elected, consistent with the Global Ministry Plan.
The caucus convenes during the Global NYI Convention at a time and place designated by the global NYI director. When approved by the Regional NYI Council, the regional director, and the Global NYI Council, a caucus may be convened by postal or electronic means within six months prior to the Global NYI Convention in order to conduct regional NYI business when circumstances prohibit a majority of elected delegates from attending the Global NYI Convention.
