The Synod Council is the board of directors for the Eastern North Dakota (EaND) Synod. The Synod Council consists of members elected from each conference (one rostered and on lay representative), three executive positions, a multi-cultural representative, a youth representative and the president of the Eastern ND WELCA. Each person elected to the Synod Council shall be a voting member of the congregation of the EaND Synod, with the exception of ordained minister on the roster of this synod who reside outside the territory of the synod. (See the Constitution, Bylaws, and Continuing Resolutions of the EaND Synod)
Members of the Synod Council serve as liaisons to one of the synod boards.
Synod Council meetings are scheduled in June in conjunction with synod assembly, and in the fall. The council is responsible for the business of the synod between yearly synod assemblies.
