WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
The American Land Title Association announced that veteran land title insurance
industry professional Anne L. Anastasi has been named President-elect for the
2009-2010 year.
Anastasi is president of Hatboro, Pa.-based Genesis Abstract, LLC. Prior to
opening her own company in 1994, she served as Vice President of a regional land
title insurance underwriter. In 1999, Anastasi served as the first female
President in the 80-year history of the Pennsylvania Land Title Association.
"I am honored to serve ALTA as its president-elect. The coming years will be
pivotal for the title insurance industry," said Anastasi, who also serves on
ALTA's Board of Governors and is Chairman of the Abstractors and Agent's Section
for ALTA. "We will continue to reach out to legislators and regulators to
educate them on the value of title insurance and the benefits it provides in
assuring property rights. Each day we strive to make the closing process more
transparent for homebuyers and for those refinancing their mortgages so they
understand that title insurance is not just a product but a process - a valuable
process."
Anastasi is a renowned national speaker, covering topics such as title
insurance, customer service, sales and motivation. She has been the key-note
speaker at more than 40 title industry state conventions and has addressed
audiences for ALTA and RESPRO.
"Few work smarter or harder on behalf of the title industry than Anne," said
Kurt Pfotenhauer, Chief Executive Officer of ALTA. "When the industry needed
someone to help drive a consumer awareness program, Anne was there. When the
industry called on her to testify at a hearing, she was there. When the industry
needed someone to spearhead a training effort to educate state regulators and
legislators on title insurance, she was there. On all fronts, Anne goes beyond
what`s needed to serve her industry."
Anastasi graduated with honors from Colgate University with a major in Japanese.
