Some of us might need to be able to take a break at times, and be put into a non-administrative calling for a time. I have a time consuming calling now, but I like it more than most because most of the time spent is doing stuff and not sitting in meetings. Although I have to do that too.

Just being a member is time consuming, without the additional time consuming callings coupled with so many meetings.

I find the professionals are often good at facilitating fewer meetings and quicker meetings. But, many non-professionals often drive those meetings into perpetuity.

More service, more gatherings and less meetings would be my preference.
