Personal Message From Your ILTA President
Hello ILTA
I am humbled by the opportunity to lead this extraordinary association in the coming year. ILTA is here to serve you with educational opportunities; advocacy to our regulator, legislators, industry partners; and opportunities to work and socialize with others in the title biz!
I am proud to be part of an association that has challenged our regulators, advocated on our behalf, educated our staff and worked hard to raise our profile with industry partners.
As we all know, it’s been a challenging two and a half years due to the pandemic. Another challenge for us has been the retirement of our beloved association managers and friends, Mike and Darlene Lane. Between the pandemic and a change in managers there have been some stumbles. We are aware of these and are working hard to right the ship!
Dues notices for 2022 will be going out the week of August 15th. We acknowledge that these notices should have gone out in December 2021. We hope that you can accept our apology, knowing the value we bring to your company every day. Any concerns, please feel free to reach out to me by email at mpellegrini@prairietitle.com or Brian Wojcicki on his cell at 312-972-3060.
Our designation classes have been one of our most successful initiatives. We are proud of this work and understand that you and your staff take this very seriously. We acknowledge that we have stumbled in this area as well. We know that some of your staff are still waiting for their certificates and pins. Additionally, an important part of the designation is continuing education. During Covid, this requirement was put on pause. We are now gearing up to get information out to all designees about their status and continuing education.
As I said at the convention, I love this industry. It has given me the opportunity to meet some of the finest people one could hope to know. It’s going to be a great year. I am here to listen to your concerns, help if I can and enjoy your company at meetings.
