O LCA (Leadership and Clerk App) é o companheiro administrativo para líderes e secretários de alas, ramos, estacas e distritos. Reúna em um só lugar as tarefas do dia a dia da liderança, com uma interface simples, rápida e pensada primeiro para o celular. Um aplicativo, dois modos: se você serve em um bispado ou presidência de ramo, o LCA mostra as ferramentas da unidade local, incluindo a reunião sacramental. Se você serve em uma presidência de estaca ou distrito, o app se adapta com as ferramentas de liderança correspondentes, como o acompanhamento de chamados. PRINCIPAIS RECURSOS •⁠ ⁠Reunião Sacramental: monte o programa completo (quem preside e dirige, hinos, orações, oradores, reconhecimentos, apoios e desobrigações, anúncios) e apresente ou exporte com facilidade. •⁠ ⁠Reuniões e pautas: crie pautas para reuniões de bispado, presidência e conselho da ala, com itens reordenáveis e anotações. •⁠ ⁠Entrevistas: organize a fila de entrevistas, agende horários e acompanhe as finalidades (recomendação para o templo, dízimo, chamados, ministração e mais). •⁠ ⁠Tarefas: registre e atribua tarefas aos membros da liderança, com prazos e acompanhamento do que está pendente ou concluído. •⁠ ⁠Chamados (estaca/distrito): acompanhe o processo de novos chamados e desobrigações, passo a passo. •⁠ ⁠Liderança e organização: gerencie os membros da sua liderança e convide-os para colaborar. FEITO PARA O DIA A DIA •⁠ ⁠Simples e rápido, com design pensado primeiro para o celular. •⁠ ⁠Pode ser instalado como aplicativo (PWA) e está disponível em português, inglês e espanhol. •⁠ ⁠Seus dados são protegidos: criptografia em trânsito e acesso restrito aos membros da sua organização. IMPORTANTE O LCA é um aplicativo independente e NÃO é afiliado, endossado ou patrocinado por A Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias. É uma ferramenta de apoio para uso pessoal de líderes e secretários no cumprimento de suas responsabilidades administrativas. Para usar o aplicativo é necessário fazer login com uma conta Google e pertencer a uma organização (criada por você ou por convite de um líder). Dúvidas ou sugestões: cleveraiapps@gmail.com
