| PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE | |
The Executive Board and the Board of Directors for CEA have hit the ground running this year. We have already adopted a new logo, as seen in the 1st quarter issue, we have created a Vision Statement, and abandoned the Reality and Mission Statements. The vision statement gives a more concise description of the California Escrow Association (see page 2 of the CEA News).
It is often said, “Give a busy person a job, and it gets done.” A truer statement has never been said about the Board of Directors. Everyone is working very hard to create a rewarding, valuable, educational experience as a member of the California Escrow Association.
The public relations firm, The Echo Media Group, has been very busy also, creating three new articles for publication, securing placement of CEA articles in 27 different publications throughout the state in just the month of February, and scheduled 3 radio show interviews, to date. I have just returned from Washington DC and the American Escrow Association meeting, where we met with the National Property Records Industry (the recorder’s association), the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the National Mortgage Brokers Association, had a “photo op” with Senator Barbara Boxer and visited the AEA headquarters. Through years of hard work, AEA is beginning to realize the fruits of their efforts with invitations from the national affiliates and name recognition. Most of my time was spent in meetings, but I was able to see a bit of Washington DC and it is awesome. The buildings and memorials are inspirational. A great city for a great country. As one of my major goals for 2005, we are continuing to work on the development of online education. I will keep you informed as our efforts continue and we make this goal a reality. Enjoy the spring! Jill Mushaney, CEO, CSEO
