I think I can count on half a hand how many NWA providers have a website, participate in any forums, and/or have a P411 account. It's a tough area for touring ladies... you almost have to depend on other touring ladies, or the few providers who care about the community...Yes this is the basic problem. NWA has a small, diffuse population compared to Tulsa, Dallas, even Little Rock. There's no downtown core. It's also pretty conservative and there are regular busts in Benton county. When it comes to being a provider bigger cities usually mean more money, so most of the quality talent leaves.

Plus in my experience traveling providers are often sloppy about references, either verifying or giving.
