Calling a Sister as an Assistant STS

Does anyone know if a Sister can be called as an Assistant STS?

Apologies if this question is in the wrong section of the forum.

Handbook 1, section 13.3.3 first paragraph would seem to indicate no.

That applies to the STS, who is an assistant stake clerk.

See the notice dated 3 July 2014, which allows worthy youth and sisters, as well as men who do not hold the Melchizedek Priesthood, to serve as assistant technology specialists if they have the skills. So the answer to your question, Biggles, is yes.

According to the letter authorizing Assistant Technology Specialists they can be either brothers or sisters and they do not have to be Melchizedek Priesthood holders. So I don't think a Assistant STS is an assistant Stake Clerk and that section would not apply.

Awesome. Must have missed that letter.

Thank you all, for your quick responses.

On the same theme. Do we know if an Assistant STS can access PVC, in their own right?
