I have left multiple messages with specifics about calling me back that seem to go unheard. I do not understand the procedure for this if I am calling a "general" number that appears unmanned.
Suggest you email SIena at snapoleon@partners.org. Perhaps there's an issue with the phone number listed?
Thanks for that info. I sent the email and will wait and see what happens.
