Diocesan Council is a body of elected lay and clergy representatives who oversee the program and budget of the Diocese of Minnesota between meetings of Diocesan Convention. Council meets quarterly. In 2011, meeting will be on the following Saturdays: March 12, June 4, September 10, and December 10. Each meeting will be a joint meeting of all elected bodies – Council, Standing Committee, Trustees and Commission on Ministry – in the mornings with the afternoons spent meeting separately. While there are only four planned meetings per year, there may be additional meetings for committees of Council, depending upon who is elected from within to serve on those committees
