The Trustees of the Diocese serve a number of important roles:
- They receive transfers of property to the Diocese for express purposes;
- They may receive funds from recognized congregations and other funds of the Diocese for investment purposes;
- They invest such funds as directed or as they may determine in their discretion as trustees;
- They collect and receive all income from such funds;
- They pay out the net income of those funds for the purposes of the Diocese (as established by Diocesan Council in the case of diocesan funds) or pay out the net income pursuant and subject to the terms of the trust or trusts or other direction under which property or money has been received by it.
The Trustees consist of the Bishop and 15 other members: 3 clergy entitled to vote at convention and 12 laypersons who are communicants in good standing of a congregation admitted as a Voting Congregation. At each Diocesan Convention 5 members are elected, one being a member of the clergy and the 4 others being laypersons.
The term of office is 3 years. The Trustees meet quarterly at the Episcopal Church Center.
