I'm officially a FD November 1st but it is still not allowing me to register. My director told me to wait until after the first but it's the 6th now. I suppose I'll have to call HO.
 
Is your IPT reflecting you as a FD? If so, I agree contact HO.
 
One of my consultants went through this last year. It was rediculous! Call HO for sure, and keep calling until it finally works.
 
Call HO and ask to speak to someone in the training department. They may be able to register you over the phone.

Where exactly would it say I'm a future director?

I have had to call HO twice now in the last two days and was on hold at least 15 minutes each time. They are not giving a call back option and I really don't have the time to be on hold that long.
 
it will update on the 10th=---

:( I cannot wait that long! I suppose it's just four more days. I'm just super excited to go to Leadership. Didn't think that would ever happen.
 
You will still be able to register for all the workshops and everything. I understand your excitement, but waiting won't change much, so no worries! :D

It would show under your name in your IPT. See below, it will say FD or something to that effect.

Am I just blind? My IPT officially says I'm a FD but I still cannot figure out how to register online. It gives me a PDF that I can fill out and mail or fax in but nothing about doing it online. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
 
Did you call HO? They have been doing major upgrades with P3 and the IPT's have been very slow. It's probably that they just didn't get to it. Call.

I'll have to call tonight on my way to my show. It took until this morning for it to finally say I'm a FD which seems like so long since I recruited my 2nd consultant!
