Who appoints the boards named for the state overseer?

• A. District Overseer
• B. State Overseer
• C. General Overseer
• D. State Council

Answer: (B)

Authority to appoint boards bearing the state's name rests with the State Overseer. In the state structure, the State Overseer is responsible for organizing and directing the state’s work, so he chooses the boards that carry the state’s identity to carry out specific ministries and duties. District Overseers operate under the State Overseer and handle local matters, not state-level boards. The General Overseer provides overall leadership for the church, but appointment of state boards is delegated to the State Overseer. The State Council serves in an advisory capacity, not in appointing these boards.
