PLTA 2017 ANNUAL CONVENTION Bear Creek Mountain Resort
June 11 - 13, 2017 PLTA Members,
It won’t be long before the start of the 96th Annual Convention of the
Pennsylvania Land Title Association. This year’s convention will be held at
Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA, from June 11-13, 2017.
Join your colleagues, industry leaders and vendors to stay current with
title issues, your role in the changing marketplace and technology advances.
Along with education, network within the industry, relax at the spa, join in
the special activities and have fun with a few surprises. Sign up for Golf
on Monday!
It is through the generous support of our friends such as Signature
Information Solutions that we are able to provide such reasonable rates for
our guests.
Relax and enjoy a few days of education and fun! Dress is resort-casual for
your entire convention experience! Of course there is one night of elegance
as we dress up for the President’s Reception and PLTA Enchantment Under the
Sea Honors Banquet (formal, black-tie optional). This evening we gather to
applaud those who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the Association and
the industry including those who volunteer on a committee, our past-
presidents, and our members who have earned our prestigious professional
designations. The PLTA 88 MPH Dance Party kicks-off immediately after the
banquet so kick up your heels and celebrate!
Among our exciting speakers we are thrilled to have Mary O'Donnell, who is
the President and CEO of Westcor Land Title Insurance Company, Chair of the
ALTA Underwriter Section and sits on the ALTA Board of Governors joining us!
Mary will provide insight and updates on the latest news for the title
industry. Also presenting will be Leslie Wyatt, Director of Industry
Relations at SoftPro and Wayne Stanley, Director of Public Affairs for ALTA!
We remain grateful to you for your support of the PLTA and look forward to
welcoming you at the 96th Annual PLTA Convention.
