Elections
A regional NYI Nominating Committee nominates regional NYI members to be elected to the Regional NYI Council.
The Regional NYI Caucus at the Global NYI Convention then elects by majority vote the members of the Regional NYI Council from submitted nominations. The Regional NYI Caucus may authorize the Regional NYI Council to appoint regional ministry directors.
A vacancy occurs when a member moves his/her membership off of the region, resigns, or is removed from office by two-thirds vote of the council due to neglect of duties or inappropriate conduct. Should a vacancy occur among council members elected or appointed by the council, the Regional NYI Council fills the vacancy by two-thirds vote if there is one nominee or by majority vote if two or more nominees. If a vacancy occurs among members representing a district on the region, the vacancy is filled according to that district’s ministry plan.
