We held our annual meeting last week and a very significant change in our By-laws was approved by both the Title Insurance Section and the Agents Section in their respective Section Meetings.
It concerns the Executive Committee voting requirements to approve a motion. In simple terms, a two-thirds majority of the EC Members present in person or by proxy decides the outcome of a vote. There are exceptions for issues which raise anti-trust concerns but that's it in a nutshell.
This is a significant step towards parity between the Sections. The Title Insurance Section voted to relinquish their ability to defeat a motion with only a handful of Title Section votes, a power not available to the Agents Section.
The Underwriters and the Agents bring different things to the title insurance marketplace and there is no denying the split is a "zero-sum game". Neither can we ignore the competitive tensions within each section. That's Ok. You knew this when you got into this business.
As the Association Executive Director, I have the advantage of stepping back from the daily fray of commerce and from this perspective I see good things happening.
The change in the voting structure is a sign of this Association's maturity and growth toward speaking with one voice in the common interests of the title industry.

The Executive Committee (EC) will meet in a limited attendance session on Tuesday June 9. Only EC Members will participate in a strategy and planning session.
On Thursday June 11, there will be a meeting on Long Island open to all Members at 10 AM. The meeting is at the Holiday Inn-Westbury, 369 Old Country Road, Carle Place, NY. There will be an update on developments regarding regulation 208, an oral report of the Tuesday EC meeting and the Membership at large will comment and discuss in an open forum.
On Friday, the EC will conduct a telephone meeting if needed to consider and vote on a motion for a revised strategy and action plan that incorporates the deliberations from the 6/9 meeting and the comments from the 6/11 meeting.
This extraordinary format is called for due to the complexity of the issues, the sensitivity of certain information and the short time remaining to address proposed regulation 208.
As Executive Director, it is my intention that this approach will enable the EC to do their best work and allow the Membership at large a voice in the decision process.
You can voice your opinion about this approach in the comments section of this blog and in the Idea Box on the Welcome tab.

The title industry was surprised by the proposed regulation 208 last week. Left unchecked, this unworkable regulation would create unnecessary and unanticipated consequence while failing to bring about its purported objective of driving costs out of the system and resulting in lower premiums for consumers.
The Executive Committee is meeting on May 12th to discuss our response and approve a strategy for the 45-day comment period that ends June 22nd.
When faced with a threat to one's livelihood, an emotional reaction is natural and understandable. However, a successful strategy must be based on reason and calculation. The process starts with being informed and understanding the governmental process.
If you have not read the proposed regulation - you can see it here:

Here is a flow chart to help understand SAPA (State Administrative Procedures Act), which determines the process: http://www.dos.ny.gov/info/rulediagram.html
These are the first steps. We have a long way to go.
