At the April 1995 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, church president Gordon B. Hinckley announced the creation of a new leadership position known as the area authority. [Gordon B. Hinckley, [http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg/menuitem.b12f9d18fae655bb69095bd3e44916a0/?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=9ba73ff73058b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&hideNav=1 “This Work Is Concerned with People”] , "Ensign", May 1995, 51.] In 1997, area authorities were renamed area authority seventies and ordained to the office of seventy. The church announced that these new seventies would become members of a Quorum of the Seventy based upon the geographic region to which they were assigned. [Gordon B. Hinckley, [http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg/menuitem.b12f9d18fae655bb69095bd3e44916a0/?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=0bb5dbdcc370c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&hideNav=1 “May We Be Faithful and True”] , "Ensign", May 1997, 4.] Later, the title "area authority seventy" was shortened to area seventy, which is the title currently in use.The area seventies serve in the various geographic regions of the world called "areas" and are assigned to quorums based up on the area in which they serve.
