I hope there are some experienced guild members here that can tell me if that would be OK. I am a patient person, but three weeks is a long time not to reply to an e-mail. What do you think?
If it is like my local guild, the mail goes to a box that the VOLUNTEER Corresponding Secretary (who also works for a living) goes at most once a week to and gets the mail. Sorts it and gives the mail to the person it should go to. And, the membership stuff goes to another person. The members of the board see each other at the monthly meeting and at the Board meeting. GO to the meeting. ASK if they got your form and check. The leadership jobs are all volunteers who have lives and families and so you really need to give them a BREAK!
