The six conferences of the Upper Susquehanna Synod are each represented by a Conference Dean, Conference Secretary, and three elected representatives to the Synod Council.  The Dean is an ordained minister, elected by the Conference Assembly, who facilitates communication between the conference’s rostered leaders, congregations, and the synod at large.  The Dean also convenes regular meetings of the conference’s rostered leaders (pastors and rostered lay leaders).
