I am trying to find the answer as well. I appreciate the handbook reference, however the handbook hasn’t been updated since the new changes in ministering, that I’m aware of. I’m a Relief Society president, so my question would be for my secretary. I know many Relief Society Presidents in our stake have latched on to e-mails, phone calls and texts as their first source for the quarterly nterviews, rather than first attempting to have a face to face interview. I interpret the information that we’ve been given to say that we should attempt to have a personal interview with each companionship at least quarterly and then in between those interviews you can utilize additional tools like phone, text, and emails for additional communication.
The option to select the secretary as the “presidency member” over a district gave me hope my secretary can indeed be assigned a district to interview. I would rather utilize her to help do personal (face to face) interviews than relying on emails and texts.
Either way, I am sure there was a purpose in mind when the secretary was included as a presidency member on the drop down list. If it was not for the purpose of being over a district and interviews I wish we could get some clarification.
