I'll break it down for you, Breakell. 

One of the most common reasons abstractors cite for not joining NALTEA is that they can't see what it has done or will do for them. 

Some of the most often requested perks are reduced rate insurances - health, e&o, more.  

Using the medi-share program as a model, NALTEA could offer something concrete, as opposed to waiting for more members before an offering of any kind.

As the member base increased due to desire for reduced-rate insurance and other perks, the numbers would be strong enough to make a difference in our field.
