Jill Trapp, Executive Director

News

Dear Members of the Tennessee Land Title Association:

It is with mixed feelings that I announce that our Executive Director, Jill Trapp, will be leaving her position as Executive Director of the Tennessee Land Title Association at the end of May. Jill has accepted a new job opening with Old Republic National Title Insurance Company and will be a great addition to that company. Her hiring at Old Republic comes on the heels of another big announcement in the Tennessee title industry. Her husband, Wayne Trapp, is retiring from Old Republic and will trade the stress of the title insurance industry for the physical labor of running the farm in Watertown and for volunteer work in the community.

Now comes the difficult task of finding a replacement for Jill. I would like to begin this search by asking our own membership for possible candidates for this position. I would like to solicit your input as to possible candidates for this job. Inquiries and resumes may be addressed to my attention by e-mail at jim@tnvalleytitle.com. There is flexibility in this position in that the Executive Director will work from home, and the work schedule is not a rigid 8 to 5 schedule. However, flexibility does not mean that there is not a lot of work. The following are a list of some of the duties performed by our Executive Director:

1. Organize and publish a newsletter.
2. Organize and prepare an annual convention, including preparing a budget, creating a brochure and helping identify speakers.
3. Soliciting sponsors, exhibitors, and drafting the agenda for the convention.
4. Communicating with membership and meeting with the TLTA Board regularly.
5. Working with our accountants on tax returns, budgets and all reporting.
6. Sending letters on dues and following up with reminders.
7. Working with the Tennessee Bar Association on the Hot Topics Seminar, including
soliciting sponsors and speakers.
8. Coordinating all TLTA seminars throughout the year, including the applications for CLE and CE credit, brochures and mailing materials.
9. Helping prepare minutes, budgets and agendas for all board meetings and for the convention.
10. Maintenance of the TLTA website.
11. Interfacing with the American Land Title Association.
12. Working with all TLTA committees.
13. Working with our lobbyist, Chuck Welch.
14. Coordinating and assisting in conference telephone calls for various boards of the TLTA.

The duties described above are only a limited number of the many jobs and responsibilities that have been performed by Jill Trapp during her tenure with the Tennessee Land Title Association. The Tennessee Land Title Association Board will be conducting the interviews and will identify a replacement for Jill Trapp.

Again, if you have any candidates for this position, please contact me by e-mail on or before May 8, 2013. The TLTA Board will begin the interviewing process as we receive resumes from potential candidates. It is our hope to hire a new Executive Director in late May so that Jill will be able to assist in this transition.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Very Truly Yours,

Jim Bondurant
President, TLTA
