Why is my life membership card taking so long to get to me? |
| |
Answer: |
It can take as long as six weeks to get your life member card. Our system includes several steps: Your application gets received at the bank/bational office; the staff must enter your data and send a list to the company that prints our cards; once a month the company prints up the individual cards and sends them as a group back to our national office; the national office puts together your welcome packet, including your new membership card and sends them out. If after about six weeks you have not seen your new card, please contact the National Membership Chair to inquire. |
