DOWNLOADIn each area, a General Authority Seventy is assigned by the First Presidency to serve as the Area President. Two counselors, who are General Authority Seventies or Area Seventies, are assigned to assist the president. The Area Presidency works under the direction of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Area Presidencies outside of the United States live in the area where they serve and often travel within that area to teach and support Church members, missionaries, leaders, and temple presidents and matrons.
