Title Industry Political Action Committee

The purpose and scope of work of this committee is to:

  1. Promote and strive for the improvement of government by encouraging and stimulating persons engaged in the title insurance industry and others to participate in governmental affairs.
  2. Encourage persons engaged in the title insurance industry and others to know and understand the nature and actions of their government (legislative, executive and judicial) concerning land transactions and the title to land, including informing the public and office-holders on important issues relating thereto and the records of office-holders and candidates with respect to such issues.
  3. Assist persons engaged in the title insurance industry and others in organizing themselves for more effective political action.
  4. Support, without regard to party affiliation, those candidates and office-holders whose expressed philosophy or records in office are consonant with the concepts of government through the private- enterprise system.
  5. Do any and all things, which are permitted by law and which are necessary or desirable for the achievement of the purposes stated herein.
