If you are interested in associating with us, we ask that you not follow up your submission by phone, fax or email. There simply isn’t enough time for us to respond to follow-ups. Anyone who does this in spite of our explicit request to the contrary demonstrates that he or she is not able or willing to follow directions and will eliminate himself or herself from consideration. We also ask that you not send your submission in any way that obliges us to wait in line at the post office during business hours to sign for it (certified, registered, non-signature-waivered express mail, etc.). This, too, will result in automatic elimination from consideration.
