Question We now have a secretary in our Primary and I am hoping to research her role. What I know so far is that a secretary should mark our childrens attendance and record the minutes of the meetings. Can you please advise me on the full extent of a secretary's role in Primary or where I can access information for this matter?
I love you and wish you a good day!
Arohanui, Lee
Hi Jason, I read your intro and should explain that I was baptised in 2001 however I fell out in 2002 and came back in 2007. I am now doing Temple prep classes. I still have a vague idea of the church organisations but am slowly getting there. I hope this helps. Thankyou for your time, Lee
Answer Lee,
Good to get your question from half-way around the world!
I do not know if their is much specific guidance about the roll of a secretary in the Primary Presidency. If so, it would be mentioned in the primary president's manual. I believe you have the basics of attendance and minutes taken care of. They can also help make sure that each of the teachers have the materials and manuals they need and hand out assignments for sharing time. Beyond that, I believe it is one of those callings where the main purpose is to support the presidency in any way they see the need.
The Church has some new support materials on the website that are very helpful. I didn't see anything specifically for a primary secretary, but a lot of helpful things that were not available before:
