This group was created in 2008, consisting of the President and Vice-President together with their immediate predecessors and successors, the General Secretary and Connexional Team Secretaries, the District Chairs, the Warden of the Methodist Diaconal Order, the Chairs of the Methodist Council, its Strategy and Resources Committee and the Stationing Committee, and the Youth President.
It is not a governance body of the church, but is intended, as a collegial body, to provide mutual support for these leaders appointed by the Conference in the exercise of their oversight, and to enable them to engage in reflection, to share insights and develop vision, and to confer about the implementation of the visions and policies adopted by the Conference.
It meets several times per year.
