Synod
Province III is governed by a Synod, made up of the bishops, one clerical deputy, and two lay deputies from each diocese within the province. Synod meets annually on the first Monday in May, at which elections are held for Provincial Officers and Executive Council members. Every third year, when the General Convention of the national Episcopal Church is held, Synod helps formulate resolutions for consideration and deputies prepare for Convention.
