How to Send a Message to Aaronic Priesthood Leaders?

Post by jasongstoddard »

I regularly need to "send a message" to all the Aaronic Priesthood leaders in my stake. But, I do not see a category to be able to select Aaronic Priesthood leaders under the send a message feature. Has anyone else encountered this and found a convenient way to get messages to Aaronic Priesthood leaders? There is an option for leaders/presidencies of every other organization except Aaronic Priesthood. I can send the messages to Bishoprics, but I want to also be able to include advisors, etc.

This is as expected since the stake works with unit organization presidencies and the presidency of the Aaronic priesthood (the bishopric). The developers were given business rules for the lists provided and those lists tend to follow the responsibilities found in the General Handbook. You could ask the bishopric to forward messages you feel the quorum advisors and/or specialists need to see.

Hmmm. When I go to send a message, I get an option to choose "All Young Men Leaders". Selecting this, I indeed see that this also includes our only YM Advisor. I don't know if this is available to me because of my calling, or if it's generally available to all who have LCR access.

What you describe is what ward leaders see when they select the 'Ward Callings' drop-down list box. The OP is a stake leader. His choices for Ward Callings is more restricted. The options available is dependent on the user's calling. Not everyone with LCR access will have the same addressee options lists.
