What The Kansas Land Title Association Inc does

The Kansas Land Title Association Inc (KLTA) is a 118-year-old non-profit statewide trade association founded in 1907 and headquartered at 7321 NW Rochester Road, Topeka, Kansas. It represents approximately 150 member organizations and nearly 400 individuals and affiliates, including title insurance underwriting companies, title agencies, abstract companies, and individual land title professionals. Its stated mission is to secure the integrity of land titles throughout Kansas by educating and advocating for land title professionals while fostering integrity among members.

KLTA generates revenue through five streams: recurring membership dues, event registration fees (annual Convention, Title School, abstracters exams, district meetings), educational materials (the "Evidencing Kansas Land Titles" study guide at $55-$130 and the "Title Insurance License Study Exam Guide" at $65-$130, sold through an E-commerce store), usage-based online continuing education credits delivered via the EON Direct platform ($75/hour members, $100/hour non-members), and event sponsorships (e.g., $3,000 underwriter convention sponsorship). Distribution runs through direct membership sales, the klta.org website, the members.klta.org storefront, and event registration portals. The association has no proprietary technology stack; website and member portal infrastructure is provided by Association Management Online (AMO).

KLTA operates within the Kansas regulatory ecosystem, representing members before the Kansas Department of Insurance, the Kansas Abstracters' Board of Examiners, and the Kansas State Legislature. It maintains a paid professional lobbyist and a funded Political Action Committee (PAC), and is affiliated with the American Land Title Association (ALTA) for national-level resources and advocacy. Governance is provided by elected volunteer officers (President Amber McDowell, President-Elect Ty Lewis, Vice-President Doreen Thomas, Treasurer Patty Holle, Immediate Past President Denise Finlay) and district chairs, supported by a small professional staff. Programs include the Kansas Title Professional (KTP) designation credential, two annual $500 scholarships, and a quarterly publication, "The Abstracter."
