During its 2016 Federal Conference and Lobby Day, ALTA honored individuals and entities for their effort in helping to raise a record amount of donations in 2015 for the Title Industry Political Action Committee. TIPAC raised a record $476,000 in 2015.
“We could not have done this without the help of our outstanding TIPAC trustees who volunteer their time to raise money for TIPAC,” TIPAC Chair Bill Burding said. “We are proud to present these awards in honor of their commitment to making TIPAC stronger each and every year.”
