Terms of Office

Individuals who apply for a Section, Division or District staff position must:

1. Complete entire staff application and submit it to the SC District Commander.

2. Have all references forwarded to the District Commander.

3. Meet for an interview with the District and/or Section Staff prior to a confirmation vote.

4. Receive at least a 2/3 vote of confirmation by the District Executive Staff at the annual District Council for a two year term of office.

5. Be commissioned by the District Director or member of the Executive District Staff.

Applicants will be presented to the District Staff, Division and Section Commanders at the annual District R.R. Council for a vote of confirmation. Once an individual has assumed a section, division or district staff office, his performance and effectiveness will be reviewed on an annual basis.

All District and Section Staff will serve a two year term which may or may not be renewed at the end of the term. After the initial two year term, the staff member will need to submit a written request to continue serving in his current office to the District Director to be considered for another term. After receiving a written request to continue serving on the District or Section Staff, the District Director will call for a vote of conformation from the District, Division and/or Section Staff to invoke another two year term.

All District Staff members with the exception of the District Commander will be voted on during District Royal Ranger Councils which fall on odd years. All Division and Section Staff will be voted on during District Royal Ranger Councils which fall on even years. The District Director is voted into office by the Presbytery of the South Carolina District Council of The Assemblies of God for a two year term at the annual council meeting of the Assemblies of God on every odd year. If for any reason a District, Division or Section Staff office becomes open prior to the District Royal Ranger Council which would hold an election for that position, a special meeting may be called for by the District Director to conduct a vote of confirmation. Any staff member appointed and confirmed by election to office prior to the appropriate District Royal Ranger Council will complete the current term of office for his position. He will then need to follow the same requirements to continue in that office as listed above and will be presented at the District Royal Ranger Council to be voted on for another term of office.

If he is in a Division or Section Staff position, he will be voted on in the next District Council that falls on an even year. If he is in a District Staff Position, he will be voted on in the next District Council that falls on an odd year.
