Record Attendance at the 2012 Fall Symposium in New York

The National Tax Lien Association's Annual Fall Symposium garnered record attendance on October 17th and 18th in New York City. The Symposium kicked off with a networking reception on Wednesday evening at the beautiful Rooftop Terrace of the Empire Hotel. The Networking Reception is the first in the 11-year history of the Symposium, but judging by attendance, it won't be the last. With the brisk, open air of the terrace and the skyline of the city surrounding them, nearly 90 attendees gathered to renew old ties and make new business connections. The event was so popular that it was extended by an hour due to participant interest and demand.

The Symposium continued bright and early Thursday morning with a Continental Breakfast at the historic Cornell Club. At 9:00 sharp, the meeting began with a Board of Directors’ report by President Doug Gale followed by Board Member Phil Migicovsky. President Gale presented the Public Relations Committee report, letting the members know that a Press Kit is now available on the web site. The Press Kit contains a myriad of information, including information on delinquent real estate taxes and tax lien sales, information on the Board of Directors, and a myth vs. fact sheet on tax lien sales. Board Member Migicovsky then presented the legislative committee report, detailing the creation of a research package on the 21 states that do not sell tax liens. Moving forward, the plan is to create five or six teams, each lead by a Board Member and staffed by member representatives, to gather information on the targeted states that may be suited for positive tax lien legislation.

Following the Board reports, the panel discussions began. Four panels were convened, covering a variety of topics from a public sector view of tax liens to tax lien financing, desktop due diligence, and disposing of ugly REO.  A special thank you goes out to our Board Members and Association members for attending, as well as to our panelists, moderators, and speakers. A very warm welcome is also extended from our Board Members and Association members to our attendees who are not members yet, but who may be soon.

The National Tax Lien Association was incorporated in 1997 as a nonprofit business league to represent the interests and agenda of its membership. The NTLA is the only nationwide association representing all segments of the tax lien industry. The NTLA's Board of Directors, leaders in asset management, public sector receivables, government and law, possess extensive experience in all facets of real property tax liens.

"Lien Sales help New York City maintain equity in the property tax system by assuring that conscientious and timely taxpayers are not overburdened and forced to pay for those individuals who disregard their tax obligations.  Lien Sales also permit the City to continue to reduce its role as landlord to delinquent properties and remove the City from the business of foreclosing on delinquent property." -- Honorable Michael Bloomberg, Mayor, New York City
