Missionary Email Added to Ward Email List

Hello clerks

Missionaries assigned to our ward have asked if their church issued email address can be added to our ward list so they are copied on ward level communication from ward leaders.

Other than maintaining individual missionaries as out-of-unit members, is there any way to allow missionaries to be copied on emails?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any way. You might want to make sure that they're showing up as missionaries in the ward. (I'm looking at Member Tools > Missionary.)

That's controlled by the mission office.

I looked at the Missionary tab of the Ward Directory and Map to see which missionaries were assigned to my ward. In addition to the two sisters who are assigned, I see at least 8 other missionaries listed. I wonder if our mission office simply assigned the entire district to each ward within the district?

As for the OP, none of these missionaries are listed as choices for Send a Message in LCR.

One other option if the systems don't allow it is to ask the Ward mission leader to forward those emails to the missionaries

I had this question too.
It seems emails from their home ward can go to a missionary serving from a ward (because their records are still in the ward they serve from).
But the missionary has no easy automatic way to get ward emails for the ward they are serving in.
The ward-mission-leader-forward-them method isn't always reliable.

I went to the LCR Send a Message page and sent feedback to the Church to see if they can help us better communicate with missionaries serving in our wards.

Anyone come up with a solution to this?

There is no way currently to add the missionary email address to the Send a Message tool in LCR. But this does not mean the missionaries cannot be included in email blasts as long as the sender is a aware that they may have to send their email blast content in individual messages to the missionaries using the missionary contact information found in the online Ward Directory and Map or in Member Tools.
