All elected trustees, (except Bishops of the A.M.E. Zion Church, President, Chief Financial Officer of the A.M.E. Zion Church, and Secretary of the Christian Education Department of the AM.E. Zion Church) shall be divided into three classes each of which shall be approximately the same number so that the terms of one-third (1/3) of such trustees shall, insofar as practical, expire each year on the date of the annual meeting. A Trustee may serve no longer than three (3) consecutive terms. Thereafter, a Trustee must be off the Board for one (1) four-year term before re-election.
