Good morning, Dwight. I don't think we need to distinguish a person who is no longer employed full time by a title company, but continues title industry experience, maintains WTP requirements, and continues actively working in the title industry. That person
remains a WTP. We require industry experience to attain WTP status, but not to retain it. I figured once someone was a WTP, all they needed to remain a WTP was acquire 6 hours of education every three years and send in the renewal application and fee. </div>

<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof">
My suggestion was intended for the WTP who retires from a title job and no longer wishes to keep up with the educational requirement and the obligation of renewing every three years. WTP status recognizes someone who has devoted a signification portion of their
life to developing knowledge of our profession. Their knowledge doesn't go poof when they retire and neither should the recognition conferred by WTP status. I think we should offer that person an option providing them continued recognition while relieving
them of some of the obligations. I haven't had to do anything for the Army since 2019 and my ID card says "retired," but it's still nice to get a salute from the gate guard when I drive onto JBLM.</div>

Good evening, members of the WTP Committee. I am pleased to report that every WTP we had identified as needing to renew has renewed their certification. Please see below for the list of 13 WTPs who are now renewed through December 31, 2028. The only incomplete
renewal involves Kathy Backstrom. Her renewal was delayed because she retired in 2024. In December I reached out to the office where she used to work to ask for contact information, but they didn't respond. A few weeks ago I located her personal contact info
and called her. She has since e-mailed a completed application. We are just waiting on her check to arrive. </div>

I sent every renewing WTP an e-mail confirming that their certification was now good through December 31, 2028, and reminding them of the need to accumulate 6 hours of continuing education. I need to double check, but I don't think we have anyone who needs
to renew in 2026. </div>
