Is the information easy to find?

I SO agree with this! We need to be making it easier, not harder, to find recommendations!

I've done the same thing - warned PNMs that they may have to tell the alumnae they contact that recs are required at Southern schools.
Overall - we need to be better educating our members about the necessity of recs and how to correctly do them for your organization. I think part of the problem is that are usually processed by a committee or a couple of individuals, and most members don't see or hear about them except as a brief mention when you're going over the PNM list.
But if they're just a check-off item for your org and you don't read or use them, change your policies and procedures to eliminate them.
