Dear TLTA Member,

This month’s message could easily be titled “Get Involved.” I want to urge you to commit a portion of your time and expertise to the Texas Land Title Association. We need your help and involvement now more than ever, and there are many ways you can contribute.

Now is the time to volunteer to serve on a TLTA committee. Each year we face many issues of great interest to you as a member of the title industry. As a TLTA committee member you can directly impact the discussion of major issues and the decisions made by our leadership. I would like to encourage those of you who haven’t served before to consider doing so. I think you’ll find committee service a rewarding experience that also allows you to sharpen your interpersonal skills and develop new friendships.

The current legislative session serves as an excellent reminder of the importance of a strong Political Action Committee. It’s imperative that we continue to educate lawmakers who can assist us in opposing or supporting specific legislation that affects our industry. Your support and participation is an investment in our profession. You can get involved in the TLTAPAC in a number of ways:

·       Participate in the TLTAPAC Golf Tournament on June 9 at the Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine, Texas. All proceeds from the tournament support the PAC. Click here to register.

As I have traveled to other state association functions this year I have become increasingly aware of the high degree of excellence we have achieved in our programs and services. This excellence is a direct result of the hard work of the Board of Directors, committees and staff. Please join us as we build on this standard of excellence.

Warm regards,

TLTA President
