In the governing body there is a rotation of the chairmanship of a year’s length among the members thereof.

The governing body of the “faithful and discreet slave” class does have a rotation of the chairmanship among its members.b Since the governing body of the “slave” class preceded the legal corporation known as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, the chairmanship of the governing body is not determined by or dependent upon who is elected president yearly of the Society. What follows? Even though the occupant of the presidency may remain in office over a number of years because of his suitability for that highly responsible office, this does not interfere with the rotation system for the chairmanship among the governing body of the “slave” class.
