Jay,
I really don't mean to be argumentative, and I realize that critiquing NALTEA is offensive to its membership's sensitivities. However, as an outsider ( by choice) looking in...you might say that "inquiring minds want to know".  The term investment implies a possible return on the investment. Right now...I am having some difficulty seeing where the return is...long term or short term.

The long term fix really does not help abstractors being forced to close their doors in the short term. When Naltea was first discussed several years ago it sounded like a great idea to advance the interest of the abstractors commercially...either through increased volume of work or savings on various forms of group insurances ( auto, health or e& o) or some combination thereof . The position of NALTEA seems to have changed into a mode of improving the industry. Improving an industry that could not care less about improvement really does not effectuate this long term investment of which you speak when as you indicate in your post many of the good abstractors are going to close their doors in the short term.

If I am missing something , please feel free to point out what I have missed.to post a reply: login - or - register
