SoftPro, a provider of title, closing and escrow software, revealed its panel of speakers for its 15th Annual User Group Conference to be held April 2-4 at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort in Fort Myers, Fla.
The conference will kick off with a keynote address from Rudy Ruettiger, the inspiration behind “Rudy, The Notre Dame Football Story.” Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Ind., Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger in 27 seconds carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame. He is the first and one of only two players in the school’s history to be carried off the field on his teammates’ shoulders. In his keynote address, he will talk about defining your dream and mission, working through struggles and achieving success and inspiring others.
Michelle Korsmo, chief executive officer of the American Land Title Association (ALTA) will speak on “Meeting the Demands of an Evolving Marketplace.” Korsmo’s presentation will discuss how regulatory pressure and risk management are changing the way real estate transfers are conducted. Her discussion will highlight ALTA’s framework to provide a standard assessment of title insurance and settlement companies for use in the marketplace. Korsmo will also talk about the current regulatory environment in the title industry and the lender and title industry responses.
Paul Meshanko, president and chief executive officer of Legacy Business Cultures will address the conference with his presentation, “Connecting with Respect.” Meshanko discusses how in world of countless differences between people, being able to create a work environment that allows each person to do his or her very best work is now one of the most important competencies that any organization can master.
“We are thrilled to have such a distinct panel of speakers for our User Group Conference,” said Patrick Hempen, SoftPro’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We are especially eager to have Michelle Korsmo address SoftPro’s users on ALTA’s best practices in light of the many new regulations facing our industry. Millions of people have been inspired by the movie, Rudy, and the opportunity for SoftPro customers to hear Rudy’s story first-hand is very exciting.”
Attendees will also be able to select from a variety of hands-on computer instruction as well as expert and panel-led discussion.
