Described as “one of the most important voices in the title industry,” ALTA board member John Hollenbeck received October Research’s 2014 Leadership Award during the 10th Annual National Settlement Services Summit in New Orleans.

Hollenbeck, executive vice president and business director of First American Title Insurance Co., was humbled for receiving the award and recognition.
