How can I send a text message to all Elders Quorum members?

My calling is Welfare and Self-Reliance Specialist in the Elders Quorum. I need to invite quorum members to sign up for Welfare assignments by sending them a text message with the date and assignment, and a link to our SignUpGenius account.

The best way to do this would be to use the Leader and Clerk Resources feature for emailing or texting the Elders Quorum membership. However, my calling doesn't give me access to that feature. I have created various workarounds and means of doing this, but they are a pain to maintain and none of them are as straightforward as using Leader and Clerk Resources would be.

Is there some way I can get access to this feature, or is there some other way to do the task?

Alternatively, if I could export the names and phone numbers for the Elders Quorum, I could work with that, too. But I don't have access to that feature, either.

Ideas? Suggestions? Feature changes?

Your best bet is to pass your message to a member of the EQ president and have them send the message. The only way to gain access to that feature is to hold a calling that grants access.

The problem with trying to send text is that most providers limit the number of people you can text at once. Something like only 10. If you text too many, you may get flagged as a spammer.
