Ward Records Committee
Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2014 10:03 pm
Under the direction of the bishop, the clerk is responsible for all record-keeping in the ward. There are a lot of record-keepers in the ward:
Ward Clerks
Assistant Ward Clerks
Executive Secretaries
Elders Quorum Secretaries
Relief Society Secretaries
Sunday School Secretaries
Ward Historians
Ward Website Administrators
I am curious to get people's feedback on having regular meetings with the ward record-keepers as a Ward "Records Committee" led by the clerk to discuss ways to keep more accurate records and provide more meaningful reports to those who need them. I think there would be great power in discussing together record-keeping issues and challenges, and taking those things back to their presidencies, etc. to work together to have useful and complete records kept.
This is similar to the idea of how the Sunday School presidency is responsible (under the direction of the bishop) for all teaching in the ward and can hold training meetings with all teachers (incl. of quorums and Relief Societies).
Ideas? Has anyone put together an organized records committee before?
