The church's temples are directed by a temple president and matron, each serving for a term of three years. The president and matron oversee the administration of temple operations and provide guidance and training for both temple patrons and staff.{{Cite web |title=Presidents and Matrons of the Syracuse Utah Temple {{!}} ChurchofJesusChristTemples.org |url=https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/syracuse-utah-temple/presidents/ |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints}}
