Rotating Members from Small Communities

In order to ensure representation on the Governing Board to smaller Member Communities, i.e. with Jewish populations of less than 25,000 (“Small Communities”), a certain number of votes shall be allocated by the Plenary Assembly to such Small Communities. The Regional Affiliates shall nominate delegates to the Governing Board from Small Communities in their respective Regions in accordance with such allocation.

Youth Delegates

As an incentive to empower the next generation of Jewish communal leaders, additional votes on the Governing Board shall be allocated to the Regional Affiliates for "young adult" representatives, under forty years of age, representing youth movements and younger Jews. These shall be allocated over and above those representatives allocated directly to Member Communities and Organizational WJC Members. This allocation shall be made proportionally by region.
