A Constituency Session is a gathering of elected representatives for a particular constituency, to address church business.  This is a part of the organization of the Seventh-day Adventist church.  The Constituency Session of the Southern New England Conference brings together delegates (voting members) who represent each of the local churches that make up the territory of the Southern New England Conference.  Employees of the Southern New England Conference and members of various standing committees are also delegates (voting members) at the Constituency Session.

The delegates at the Constituency Session are expected to vote to elect officers, adopt or change the bylaws, appoint members to serve on various boards, organize or dissolve churches, and transact other business as required. One of the most important aspects is the election of the Executive Committee, whose duty is to represent the constituency between sessions.

Each church within the Southern New England Conference sends delegates to the Constituency Session. These delegates must be members of the church which they represent. The number of delegates from each church depends upon the total membership of the church as reported at the end of the previous year. All credentialed employees of the Southern New England Conference and the members of the following Conference committees serve as delegates.
