On behalf of the American Escrow Association, thank you for making the 46th Annual Business Meeting & Education Conference an incredible success.

This past weekend was filled with outstanding education, meaningful conversations, valuable networking opportunities, and a shared commitment to advancing the settlement profession. None of this would have been possible without each of you.

To our attendees, thank you for investing your time, energy, and enthusiasm in your professional development and in supporting our Association. Your engagement during sessions, discussions, and events helped create a dynamic and rewarding experience for everyone.

To our speakers, thank you for generously sharing your expertise, insights, and knowledge. Your dedication to education and elevating our profession is invaluable, and we are grateful for the time and preparation you devoted to making your presentations informative and impactful.

To our exhibitors and sponsors, thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your commitment to the escrow and settlement industry allows us to provide quality educational opportunities, valuable resources, and memorable conference experiences. We encourage our members to continue building relationships with the companies and organizations that help make our Association and conference possible.

This year’s conference was a wonderful reminder of the strength, resilience, and professionalism of our industry. Together, we continue to promote education, share knowledge, foster connections, and support one another as we navigate opportunities and challenges within the settlement profession.

As a reminder, conference presentation materials will continue to be posted as they are received from our speakers. The presentations that have already been provided are now available on the Conference page. To access them, navigate to the individual session and select “View Details” for that session. Additional presentations will be uploaded as they become available, so we encourage you to check back periodically.

We also encourage you to complete the Conference Evaluation Form by clicking the link located on the back page of the digital conference workbook. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us continue to improve and enhance future conferences and educational offerings. As a special thank-you, all attendees who submit their completed evaluation by June 28, 2026, will be entered into a drawing to win either a complimentary AEA Live Webinar registration or access to an AEA OnDemand session from a previously recorded webinar.

As we look ahead, the incoming 2026–2027 Executive Board will officially assume their roles on August 1, 2026. We encourage you to reach out to Incoming President Colleen Graves at president@a-e-a.org to congratulate her and share your interest in becoming more involved with the American Escrow Association.

Under Colleen’s leadership and the theme “ReImagine and Thrive,” AEA will continue building upon its strong foundation while embracing new ideas, new perspectives, and new opportunities for growth. Whether you are interested in serving as an Officer, Committee Chair, Committee Member, or volunteer in another capacity, we would love to hear from you. Our Association thrives because of the dedication, expertise, and passion of its members. We are always looking for individuals with unique talents, fresh perspectives, and innovative ideas to help us advance the settlement profession and better serve our membership.

As we begin this exciting new chapter, we invite each of you to ReImagine and Thrive alongside us—to reimagine what is possible for our profession, our Association, and your own professional journey, and to thrive through collaboration, education, innovation, and service.

Whether you traveled across the country, presented a session, sponsored an event, exhibited your products and services, volunteered behind the scenes, or participated in discussions, please know that your contributions made a difference.

Thank you for your support of the American Escrow Association and for helping us continue our mission to promote and support the settlement profession and its practitioners. We look forward to staying connected throughout the coming year and seeing you at future AEA events.

With sincere appreciation on behalf of the AEA Board of Directors.
