In 2021, the Board of Directors of the Florida Land Title Association established the FLTA Charitable Action Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The organization has continued FLTA's mission of supporting higher education with student scholarships, contributed funds to the relief efforts of natural disasters, local food banks and more. We now look to continue the mission and vision by opening the Call for Foundation Trustees.
Trustees will serve a 2-year term. Eligibility to serve as a Trustee is open to all members in good standing, including Associate Members.
This is a great way to become more involved and make a difference. The Board of Trustees is a working Board and will assist in the planning, fundraising and selection of appropriate grant distributions.
