Well, it's been a week since the 10th Anniversary NALTEA Conference in Columbus, Ohio.  For those of you who missed it, it was one of the best real estate conferences I have been to.  The speakers were all tremendous!  You can read their bios by clicking here.  Truly impressive.

The downside is that attendance was not so impressive.  Nonetheless, I was excited to be around like-minded title people who care about our industry.  And... I volunteered to be Vice President of NATLEA again.  Wanda Steudel ran for a board position and is the President this year.  Wanda and I worked together in the same capacities six or seven years ago (I'm guessing), and I am looking forward to working with her again.  I'll let somebody else list all of the board and officer positions, because frankly, I've only been back a week and I'm still learning who's doing what. 

But, I still believe that NALTEA is an important organization for the title abstractors and the title industry as a whole.  It will be my goal for the next year to help the board redefine NALTEA and get other people as excited about the industry as I am.

Congratulations to NALTEA for its 10th Anniversary!  If you think about it, this is a major milestone for an organization like NALTEA.  Just a few years after it got started, we saw the worst real estate market in recent history.  A lot of good people are no longer in the business, but NALTEA is still here to help those of us who are. 

Best,
Robert A. Franco
