Relief Society President, as autonomous leader
To what extent, in your experience, is the RS president allowed to choose people for callings in her organization?
In my experience, a lot of latitude was given.
Which makes sense. Lord called the RS President. Lord can inspire her to call sisters in her organization. She is going to be in much better touch with the needs of the RS than the men. Inspiration without knowledge is sometimes a losing effort--what men micromanaging the RS might turn into.
Based on my limited experience, I would say RS President is more important calling than EQ Pres and HP GL (exponentially more important). More important than counselors to Bishop as well.
A Bishop without a good working relationship with the RS President is up the creek.
