When do COs in the US get rotated?

[Brandon]

just wondered 

[Foxes53]

Usually they serve a circuit for 3 years.

[Qapla]

I may be mistaken but I understood that the US and Canada Branch are now on the same CO rotation schedule 

[jwhess]

Exceptions to the 3-year rule:  If a CO turns 70 in the early part of his new circuit, if the CO's circuit is dissolved (happened to us last year) or something happens to the CO (health, etc).

I think the OP meant: "at what time of the year do the COs rotate?" Or perhaps: "When was the last time the COs rotated?"

 

For example, since Brandon and I are both in Canada, we are likely on the same schedule. Our new COs start with the new service year in September. The last time they rotated was in September of 2017, so the next time will be September of 2020.

 

In other places in the world, it's completely different. Since I know a brother and sister in the Philippines in the circuit work, I know that their changeover time is in January rather than September. They last changed circuits in January of 2019.

 

So, what is it in the US? And, is it the same time in all states of the US? John (@Qapla) above thinks Canada and the US may be on the same rotation, but I'm not sure.

Usually it is September for us.  The CO has to finish the RC, the Pioneer School(s) and his vacation.  Most of theis is done at the end of the summer.  Rotation begins September 1.

Currently we are halfway through the 3 year cycle.

Again, IIRC there was some adjustments made last rotation to bring ALL circuits in Canada and US into a matching schedule. That applies to when they rotate during the year and on what year they rotate.

 

I do not know why that change was made but I remember talking about it when it was changed with the CO we had at the time - we had a sub-CO in our Hall and I know a couple others and this topic came up.

 

Prior to that time, not all US circuits rotated at the same time ... some were half a term off from the others. Canada was on whatever schedule they used - I do not know how that was done.

Here downunder it is around the time of our Regional Conventions. That was September for many of us. We had the new CO give talks, even though our first visit will be in Jan 2020

@Sheep it's the second question:  when will be the next time, for the US?

Here the same, rotation begins Sepember 1. This year started their 3 years cycle.

Our old CO is now in Sydney serving from Bethel where they have an apartment in Bethel. Our current CO is from Australia but has been serving in Timor Leste and parts of Australia.

Or gets called to Gilead or other theocratic assignment...

Yes, we will have a new co starting September 2021

I guess Canada is not in sync with the US (at least in Ohio). We change COs in September 2020.

 

Do all other states in the US change over in 2021 too?

Yes 2021 however we have new CO this month because former CO is currently in Gilead.

Do you actually have a "new" CO ... or a "substitute"?

 

Also, if he is actually appointed as the replacement CO ... will he still rotate out in 2021?

 

 

 

When a CO is "replaced" during his scheduled assignment period (and there can be many reasons this happens) - that is NOT a "rotation" ... it is a substitution or a replacement.
