WLTA Website For access to the most current association news, calendar of events, education products, legislative updates the WLTA website provides an exchange of information for both members, non-members, customers and the general public. Our website is our industry "magazine" and place to go to create title industry relationships and increase the professionalism of the industry. Communications WLTA emails are the heartbeat of staying in touch with our members on association events, education, industry alerts, legislation, both state and national industry news. Messages from the WLTA President provide members with instant email communications about very special WLTA news. Legislative Calls to Action go out when WLTA wants to mobilize members to speak to a legislator in behalf of an industry or association effort to affect a legislative issue. Education Programs WLTA has lead the country in establishing polished education products to increase the knowledge and professionalism of the title industry with the following programs:
Spring Conference/Lobby Day With an emphasis on "Education" the schedule includes a general session with association updates, legislative updates, guest speakers on educational topics and great networking opportunities. Every other year WLTA also hosts a Lobby Day as part of our Spring Conference which is held in Madison. Members are briefed on legislation the association is working on. WLTA arranges visits with state legislators to connect and educate them on these industry legislative issues and members become the voice of WLTA. Annual Convention The end and beginning of a new association year are marked with the Annual Convention held in the fall of each year. Highlights include informative business meetings, guest speakers, trade show, installation of new directors, awards, tours and/or local interest activities for members and their guests, reception & banquet, networking & camaraderie. Leadership Involvement WLTA Members are invited and encouraged to actively participate in leadership positions including Committee involvement or participation on the Board. Committees include: Budget, Bylaws, Public Relations, Education, Legislation, Membership, Liaison, Convention, Grievance, Nominating and Special Committees. Board Positions include: President, President-Elect, Region Directors (x4), Directors at Large and Immediate Past President. (see the WLTA bylaws for more information.) Connecting our Members/Networking An introduction to a fellow title industry professional is the ultimate accomplishment towards the goal to unite an industry to work together for the good of the whole. WLTA has been doing this since 1906 when it was created by holding a meeting in Milwaukee as The Pfister Hotel to "Advance the evidencing of title to real property; the promotion of the acquaintance and mutual advantage and general welfare of its members by the interchange of ideas and the protective, remedial or other measures to further the common interests of its members and the general public in harmony with their respective rights, interests and duties; and in general to do any and all things that may be incidental to, implied from or appropriate to the promotion and encouragement of these objects and purposes". Over 110 years later, Wisconsin Land Title Association is proud to say that it is still proud to uphold and stand behind the original purposes created by its founding fathers!
