I think it's swell that you and your National President are FB friends. My point is that the OP stated she's from a large national group. While all members certainly have access to the Sister who serves as National President, can you imagine the deluge if everyone took that option? Plus, no National President is going to have the documentation at her fingertips to deal with this situation. I also think the HQ staff would appreciate being given the time to respond to the request before the OP goes to a higher authority.
