WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 25, 2024 — Ashley Matejek MTP, NTP has earned her National Title Professional (NTP) designation from the American Land Title Association (ALTA), the national trade association of the land title insurance industry. Formally acknowledged with her NTP designation on Sept. 1, Matejek is one of 119 leaders across the United States who have devoted their careers to the land title industry and earned their designation.

The designation recognizes land title professionals who demonstrate the knowledge, experience and dedication essential to the safe and efficient transfer of real property.*

“‘National Title Professional’ is a recognition bestowed upon only the most knowledgeable and committed title insurance professionals,” said ALTA President Don Kennedy. “ALTA members earning their designation must undergo a vigorous audit and demonstrate extensive experience in and dedication to the title insurance industry. Ashley has been a title professional for more than 20 years, which in itself is an achievement. Her leadership, expertise and ability to adapt made her an ideal candidate for the NTP designation. I hope other title insurance professionals follow her lead and aim for this achievement.”
