Whereas, we, the Executive Committee of the Southwest Texas Conference United Methodist Women, strongly affirm the integrity of the 1964 Restructuring Agreement which defined the autonomy of the Women's Division of the General Board of Global Ministries and ensured proportional representation in decision-making positions on said Board;

Therefore, we petition the 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church in reference to ¶ 1424 of the 1992 Discipline: that, in any restructure of the General Board of Global Ministries, the agreements made in 1964 be honored in the matter of representation on said Board and the autonomy of the Women's Division of the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church.
