Call for Faculty

ALTA is looking for Faculty for the 2024 ALTA SPRINGBOARD. This event is the springboard that helps ALTA members accelerate their businesses and their careers through interactive discussion and problem solving around title industry challenges.

The format of ALTA SPRINGBOARD is different from the typical ALTA meeting, so the Faculty duties are also different.

We are looking for Discussion Facilitators to lead thoughtful and interactive round-table discussions and brainstorm sessions on today’s hottest topics relevant to the title insurance industry as well as Speakers for a limited series on career advancement.

Discussion Facilitators should:

• Encourage positive and inclusive dialogue
• Be solution oriented
• Ask thought provoking questions
• Speak less and listen more

ALTA is accepting Faculty applications through Wednesday, December 13.

Call for Faculty Process

• Interested Faculty can submit an application through the online portal.
• Read the instructions below carefully as our process for speaker selection has changed.
• ALTA will close the Call for Faculty on Wednesday, December 13.
• ALTA leadership and staff will meet to review submissions.
• ALTA will contact accepted Faculty in late December/early January.
