  General Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A General Authority is a priesthood leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whose responsibility is at a church-wide level, rather than localized to a particular area or unit of the Church.
As with any calling in the Church, general authorities and general offices serve "until they are released" - except for Apostles this usually means limited periods of time, usually from three to twenty years.
In the semi-annual General Conferences of the Church held in April and October, all of the General Authorities are presented to the general membership of the Church for a sustaining vote.
