Sure, you have to meet sometimes to talk about how to serve, but they don't have to be so long and so often, or done just for the sake of doing it to mark off a check somewhere that it was done.
The admin meetings fall on the people in leadership positions. Depending on what kind of ward you are in, those leadership positions may be recycled over and over among the same people (men mostly).

Important things do happen in Bishopric meetings, ward council, PEC. Discuss what is going on with new members, struggling members, investigators.

It's just that it's not MY strength to be an administrator. So I don't like it very much. Some people love it.
