I sent in my Heartland Owners Club application over 3 weeks ago and still nothing.
I understand changing a system of operations is sometimes overwhelming but geeee, 3 weeks?
Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men. . . Our goal is to make joining the Heartland Owners Club independent of the Heartland Owners Forum and easier to join. In order to do this new software, including a new database, has to be developed. This database has to be accessible to HOC administration and leadership for utilization in the performance of their responsibilities. This software is not a plug-n-play product.
We are not writing this "in house", but have contracted a third party independent. Issues have arisen which have negatively impacted the completion date. There are approximately 350 people who have submitted applications to date who are waiting for membership numbers and that number grows every day.
Even when the system is complete it will take me, the club manager, several weeks to process all the applications we have already received, i.e. assign the HOC membership numbers and email the new member, their Chapter Leader and their Region Director.
In the meantime, you can still carry on as though your membership is activated. Your application has been received and should you need confirmation of that for any reason, just contact me and I can provide it.
Please bear with us and thank you for your patience.
