PRESIDENCY MESSAGE

Personal ProgressNew Personal Progress Site for Leaders

New Personal Progress information is now available for leaders, including an introduction to the revised Personal Progress program, a guide for parents and leaders, and a list of Personal Progress materials. Answers to frequently asked questions and the implementation instructions included in the recent mailing are part of this new online content.

Leaders can find additional information in the January issues of the New Era and the Ensign. Two relevant articles were also published in the Saturday, December 26, 2009, Church News: "Fostering Spiritual Growth among Latter-day Saint Young Women" and "Young Women: Personal Progress."


PRESIDENCY UPDATE

Personal Progress MaterialsPurchase of New Personal Progress Materials

The revised Personal Progress materials are now available through Distribution Services (United States and Canada). Young Women leaders are asked to consider the following as they order:

  • Be conservative in your initial order so all wards and stakes will have access to the new materials.
  • Approve all purchases with your priesthood leaders prior to placing your order.
  • Stake and ward leaders should coordinate the purchase of materials to avoid duplication of efforts and possible waste.
