Presidency Meeting Agenda

I have a quick agenda for each Primary Presidency meeting and I thought I’d share it and see if anyone has anything else that they review, or things that are useless.

1. Prayer (beacuse if it’s not on there, I may forget it)
2.  Review of jobs

• President — Nursery, ward council, baptisms, budget, staffing, meetings
• 1st — Program, activity days, teachers, materials, faith in God
• 2nd — Scouts, closet
• 3rd — Subs (our third counselor is basically a rotating sub)
• Secretary — Stats, talks, birthdays, roll, spotlight, new members, inactive
• {we just review each person’s area and these are pretty lose “areas” as we are all pretty great to do whatever– but I do like each area fairly deliniated because it makes delegating easier, I would LOVE to know how other presidencies split the load!}

3.  Stuff to fix  {reverence is almost always top of this list,  other things are scripture memorization, classroom visits, etc.}
4.  Staffing issues {currently, not a problem but we almost always are checking out the meat market for new teachers, and making sure teachers continue to enjoy their calling}
5.  Child issues {any families that need extra support, often gleaned from ward council}
6.  Upcoming items {ward parties we’re in charge of, cub or activity days things we need to help with}
7.  Birthday visits {we visit each child during their birthday month}
8.  Newsletter items {we do an e-newsletter for parents with birthdays, the theme, talks, etc.}
9.  Spotlight families {we’re doing family spotlights this year}
10.  I also paste the month’s schedule from my excel document into the agenda so they’re reminded when they are doing sharing time, or conducting.

Anyway, I try to keep them to just an hour and we hold them monthly.  We’re good to read emails and talk on Sundays, so I feel like this is adequate.

What does your presidency do differently?  Inquiring minds….
