Hi Aaron, yup...we're experiencing a little "technical difficulty"!
The normal process is once you hit that link, it trips a switch that lets me know someone is waiting to join the state chapter. I e-mail them asking for contact info and ask the new applicant to e-mail me the info. This way I can capture their e-mail address and add you to the e-mail group for the state.
Once I get your info, I approve you and post your 'new member' notice in the WV Chapter forums.
Here's what I send in the information request:
Hi and thanks for being patient! My name is Joe Garcia and I’m the FTE WV Chapter Leader. I’ll need some basic info sent to me and then I’ll approve you and post your notice in the WV Chapter. I prefer you e-mail the info to me so that I can add your e-mail address to our WV Chapter e-mail group easily.
This information is not shared, we use it to determine where our members are around the state and to contact them with regards to chapter functions and meetings.
Name:
Mailing Address:
Contact Phone (Optional):
E-mail Address:
Birth Month:
FTE Handle: (mine is MSgtG)
Once I get your info as I said above, I’ll approve you and get you posted on the site. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a yell.
Regards,
Joe Garcia
