We are pleased to recognize the dedicated professionals at Old Republic Title who are serving in leadership roles for the American Land Title Association (ALTA) for 2024-2025.
As the national trade association and voice of our industry, ALTA plays a vital role in shaping the future of the title industry and influencing policies that impact it most. ALTA’s member-only committees are the heart and soul of the association. They provide opportunities for participants to network, share their knowledge, advance best practices and help educate others about the industry’s work in protecting property rights.
ALTA Executive Board of Governors:
David Scott, Senior Vice President of ORNTIC and Business Development Manager for National Agency Services, is currently serving his second year of a three-year term on ALTA’s Title Insurance Underwriter Section Executive Committee.
In this role, David helps the committee with its goals of identifying resources that members can use to run their business successfully, attracting new talent, and fostering increased employee engagement and retention. He will also help identify training and education resources to assist members in a changing environment.
David also advocated for and helped create ALTA’s Diversity and Inclusion Sub-Committee, which focuses on mentoring and identifying needed resources for those who are underrepresented and interested in entering the title arena. He is also a member of ALTA’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council, as well as its Membership and Talent committees.
