Helping the Agent Stake use the e-calendar
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2014 7:50 am
Our stake has two units that meet in the stake center of an adjoining stake. Our neighboring stake has been very slow to embrace technology, they are still using paper to schedule their building and are still assigning units specific days of the week for their activities. Weekend events require our units to make a written request for a Saturday event and this takes several days to get a response, which is an improvement because it used to take a week or more to find out if the requested Saturday was available.
Our stake on the other hand has embraced the new technology, our stake center is busy with numerous units and the stake all happily using the building on a single given Saturday and no one gets in the other's way. Our two units that meet in the neighboring stake center yearn for the ability to do what the rest of our stake is doing.
As Stake Calendaring Specialist, I am aware that this "New" system for scheduling events in the building is a mind blowing concept. In discussions with what is my counterpart in the neighboring stake, I can see I need to take baby steps to help them enter the brave new world of the e-calendar. They have suggested that perhaps these two wards from our stake could have "viewing" rights to but not "viewing and editing" rights to the building they are in. I'm not even sure if that is possible. The neighboring stake is worried about losing control of their building and not being able to schedule things freely at the last minute.
Any suggestions you could offer that might help with this transition for our neighboring stake would be welcome. Have any of you needed to baby step a neighboring stake in using the e-calendar? Thanks!
