The Regional Board serves as the chief governing body in the interim of Regional Conference sessions. Membership consists of the National Superintendents and two lay leaders from the two national conferences (Australia and New Zealand), and the National Superintendents of their mission units; Solomon Islands (Australia) and Bougainville (New Zealand). The Regional President will be appointed on a rotational basis from among the National Superintendents of the member national conferences.
