I have not found how to broadcast emails using the new directory. Would someone give me an assist?

Since you can use the Directory to send a message to all Adults, that seems adequate for most communications. There's no reason to ask the bishop to use Clerk and Leader Resources.dr_computer wrote:Having someone in addition to the Bishop be able to broadcast to the entire ward would be useful. Based on my experience as Executive Secretary to 5 bishops they would not personally prepare such emails they would delegate it. For example announcing the death of a ward member and funeral services.
I cannot confirm this, but, I believe the ward clerk can also send a message to the entire ward.dr_computer wrote:Having someone in addition to the Bishop be able to broadcast to the entire ward would be useful.
I can confirm that. As ward clerk I can send messages to just about every group of members you could think of including all adults and all members. There are in fact 20 different groups of members and 28 different groups of leaders (at both the Stake and Ward level).jdlessley wrote:I cannot confirm this, but, I believe the ward clerk can also send a message to the entire ward.
Since your last post, there have been three posts. Rather than simply asking for "more info" it would be helpful if you would respond to those suggestions. Is there a reason they don't work for you? Are you unable to do those things? If so, what specific problems are you having? If you can do those things, but find them inadequate, what specifically makes them unsuitable for your needs?dr_computer wrote:would appreciate more info on sending emails to entire ward.
It's best to continue the discussion in the forum -- that way everyone benefits from the discussion, not just one person.dr_computer wrote:if appropris\ate a list to my email may be useful. dr_computer@yahoo.com
On the Directory, there is no general broadcast feature. That's why you can't find it.dr_computer wrote:I'm sorry to belabor the email question but I must be missing something. I do quite q few emails to all the ward but on the new directory I find(?) only mailings to groups no general broadcast that I can use.
