The District has three departments (DFF, DFO, DPS) appointed by the
East District Board of Directors. Departments are populated with a
representative from each of the nine Circuits within the District.
Representatives are appointed on a staggered three-year rotation and
serve their Lord and His Church on a voluntary basis. The Church

District.
