NELTA is your premier resource for education, information and networking in 2020

New England Land Title Association (NELTA) is one of the title industry’s premier resources for education, information and networking. Organized in 1970, NELTA is currently comprised of nearly 400 members from each of the six New England states. Our membership includes title insurance underwriting companies and corporate abstract companies; real estate attorneys and corporate title agents; bankers, land surveyors, abstractors, paralegals and others in businesses directly related to the title industry. 

NELTA members continue to vigilantly monitor the legislative issues affecting our industry and work to protect their interests. NELTA members stay abreast of their profession by their involvement with other practitioners who share the same concerns and face the same challenges and know the enormous value that membership affords by enhancing their professional careers.

NELTA members stay up-to-date on the latest industry issues with Spring and Fall educational programs. Many of our new members hear about NELTA through the educational programs we offer throughout New England. The NELTA Education Committee will be meeting over the summer to work on programs for the fall so be sure to check the NELTA web site at www.nelta.org for information and registration forms.

For the first time in our 50 year history, NELTA canceled our annual convention this year. We felt it would have been irresponsible to push forward in these uncertain and unprecedented times.  

In lieu of our annual convention, NELTA’s Virtual 50^th Annual Meeting and President’s BYO Luncheon begins at 12:00 noon on Thursday, June 18^th.  Grab your lunch and join us via Zoom as we hold our Annual Business Meeting, the Installation of the 2020-2021 NELTA Board of Directors, our incoming president, Barbara Smith’s address to the members, followed by Ted Jones’s talk, “And the Beat Goes On, Pandemics and Seismic Events” - you won’t want to miss Ted’s witty and insightful take on our economy.

Next year we’re planning to celebrate NELTA’s 50^th Anniversary AGAIN – The Live version! We’ll be at Gurney’s in Newport, RI, June 17 – 20, 2021. We hope you will plan to join us. It will be a wonderful reunion for our NELTA family and friends! 

There is no better way to stay abreast of your profession than by involvement with other practitioners who share the same concerns and face the same challenges. NELTA members have discovered the enormous value that membership affords enhancing their professional careers: 

Educational Offerings

Annual Convention

NELTA members and their families get together for three days of fun and professional development at our annual convention in June of each year. It’s not only a wonderful fun-filled way to kick off the summer season, it also provides the opportunity to meet with many of the title industry leaders in an informal setting
