Dear PRIA Members and Guests:
Welcome to the 2015 Winter Symposium in Arlington, VA. This year is slated to
be the final symposium in the Washington, D.C. area for the foreseeable future.
“Tune in to PRIA” is our theme and our programming reflects the many ways in
which PRIA “tunes in” to other voices within the property records extended
community to share ideas and solutions from which everyone can benefit.
President’s
Circle Member:
Simplifile,
LC
From potential federal government initiatives to new technology, security and GIS to
concurrent work group sessions, attendees should find programs that meet their needs and from which they can
learn to better serve their customers.
PRIA was established as the standard-setting body for the property records industry and is committed to not
only bringing both government and business the tools they require to engage in eRecording, but also providing
guidelines to other business processes that affect the everyday workflow.
We are delighted to welcome Doug Duncan, senior vice president and economist, Fannie Mae, for an
enlightening address on the economy of the housing industry. And, during Thursday’s lunch, we’ll hear from
Steve Bisbee, president and CEO of eOriginal and board member for the Electronic Signature and Records
Association (ESRA).
If you are not a PRIA member, then I urge you to consider making the commitment while you are at the
symposium. The PRIA membership year runs from August 1 –July 31, so right now you can join for just
50 percent of your equivalent dues category. There is a membership application (for both government and
business) included
in this program.
On behalf of the PRIA Board of Directors, I want to recognize the Winter Symposium Planning Committee whose
members have worked tirelessly for the past six months to schedule the speakers, develop working sessions and
plan social opportunities for this event. Their commitment to the success of this year’s Winter Symposium has
been invaluable. Please take a moment over the next few days to personally thank the committee members for
their service to the association.
