Thank you for the honor of being your VLTA President for 2023-2024. This year is particularly special because it culminates in our 50th Anniversary of the Association. The 2024 Convention in Virginia Beach will be spectacular and the year leading up to that will be filled with opportunities for you to explore this year’s theme “It Starts With You!”
At the 2023 Convention, we encouraged you to become more active in our various committees. Our Events Committee and Education Committee put together a great experience this year and you can help put together an amazing convention in 2024 by participating in our monthly one-hour committee conference calls. Our Legislative Affairs & Political Action Committee will be promoting the interests of our Association with the General Assembly and you can join us at our Lobby Day on the Hill on February 6th, 2024. Our Membership Committee has monthly calls to try to make YOUR VLTA even more engaging. If you are reading this newsletter, you already know how important the work of the Examiner Magazine Committee.
Your VLTA opportunities are more than just Committee meetings, however, and I encourage you to explore some of our educational opportunities. Our refreshed Virginia Certified Title Examiner course offers comprehensive “how-to” training that benefits both experienced title professionals and newcomers to the industry. And our Virginia Certified Title Settlement Agent course is the only training opportunity of its kind. Members who have these certifications are eligible for the American Land Title Association’s Certified Title Professional designation too!
We also have in-person Regional Seminars in March and April for educational opportunities, and online webinars for professional development.
What else can YOUR VLTA do for you? Drop us a line and let us know. It starts with you!
