Wow. I guess making that point was pretty fast.  So.... there are members of CORSA who do not participate in chapter activities do not belong to a chapter, do not pay chapter dues.... hence are not receiving the CORSA benefits to which they are entitled when they join a chapter (e.g. these folks are not attending chapter events that are covered by CORSA insurance, yet are paying for this coverage).  And at the same time there are Chapter members, who do not join CORSA, and are not taking advantage of CORSA events and benefits for which they opt not to pay for by not joining CORSA. Huh. Seems like a wash to me. 

People don't join a chapter because they don't want to participate in chapter events, it's to far away, etc -- so they shouldn't be forced to join one.  Yet, Chapter members who do not want to participate in CORSA events should be forced to join CORSA?

Now, if you try to argue that CORSA members who do not join a chapter are not really in any way chipping in for the cost of Chapter benefits anyway, then you also can't argue that Chapter members who do not participate in national events are getting benefits of CORSA.
