          From Southern Ohio/Kentucky District Code of Regulations. 

 District Conference is the annual meeting of the District. It is a mass meeting to which delegates and others interested from the congregations come in business sessions, worship, and fellowship to give implementation to the district purpose. District Conference is the final authority of the District on policy, program, and procedure. District Conference must approve the District Budget, except for the Outdoor Ministries Budget, which is approved by the Board. District Conference must elect Board Members, District Conference Officers, Member of the Program and Arrangements Committee and various representatives to denominational offices. The Program and Arrangements Committee sets the time and place of District Conference at least six months before District Conference.

Each congregation shall have one vote for each delegate attending District Conference. Each congregation with less than 201 members shall be entitled to four delegates. Larger congregations shall have additional delegates based upon current Church of the Brethren practices for allocating additional delegates for Church of the Brethren Annual Conference.[each congregation having more than 200 members may send one additional for each 200 or fraction thereof.]  The Pastor and the leader of the governing board shall be delegates because of their office. Additional delegates shall be elected by the congregation for two year terms. A fellowship is entitled to send four voting delegates to District Conference.
