A number of my bodies already circulate minutes by email and allow electronic payment, either by Paypal or standing order. Have you made a motion in your lodge to do so? When did you last attend your lodge?
I don’t think the fraternity has the resources to run an employment bureau, and certainly doesn’t have the expertise found in public agencies, or even private groups, such as LDS Employment Services. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
How can you state, that the fraternity does not have the resources? Are you an expert on all 51+ Grand Lodges in the USA, and all of the subordinate lodges in the USA? I am certain that some Grand Lodges could re-open their employment services. Some Grand lodges may already have such bureaus currently operating, I do not know. Some lodges in the USA, might have members who are expert in assisting people in seeking employment. Some might have members who are job-placement specialists. My mother lodge has an individual who is retired from the state employment service.
I have some acquaintance with the LDS employment bureaus (They help anyone who asks for help, church membership is not required, just like their family history centers do not require church membership). The bureaus are staffed by volunteers, and they use the employment literature provided by the church (and non-church manuals,etc. as well).
