Why We're Here

Giving Assigments

These are thoughts following a priest's quorum presidency meeting. 
Number one thing to improve: youth leadership. 
Solutions: activities will be led and planned by the boys, with the aid if an advisor. The youths will be asked if they will plan an activity, and advisors will be assigned -- leading into point two. 
We are not a volunteer group. We give assignments and make commitments. Rather than ask the boys if they'll do something, assign them to it. Ask for commitments, not interest. 
Another thing: Duty to God. We've been slacking with that. 
Solution: Work on sections as a quorum, and plan more activities where DtG is the focus, not a side story. 
Missing members: assign present quorum members to contact and inform those not present, then report to me, who will report to bishop. This adds accountability on all levels, ensuring it gets done. 
That's all I'm sharing for now. I'm first up with youth-led activities, with Brother Carpenter as my aid. I'm pretty excited for it; I'll post an After Action Report (AAR) when it's over.
