In the Friday afternoon broadcast about Church Service Missionary work there was mention of 'additional' responsibilities on STS recently completed. I'm not sure what the person was talking about, does anyone know?

Last year about this time there were hints about an additional High Council assignment for Technology, there was talk about an Area Technology Specialist and a Ward Technology Specialist. Is any or all of these in the works now, finally through the correlation process? Can stakes start to get a feel for how they should organize themselves.

There is a proposed Meetinghouse Technology Roles and Responsibilities document under review that encourages STSs to "Look for additional resources that may be able to assist a stake with technology training or other technology needs." If approved, this statemet will likely link to the LDSTech Chapters article on the LDSTech wiki.

Callings for Area Technology Specialists, Ward Technology Specialists, and High Councilors assigned to technology are under review. If/when approved, local leaders will be made aware. If you have feedback on any of these ideas, feel free to share them here or via email to mht@ldschurch.org.

As long as there's an established hierarchy. I'm leery of the "too many cooks in the kitchen" syndrome.

Ahh, explains the MHTech survey I answered a couple of weeks ago with questions along these lines.
