Subject Matter Experts needed for Continuing Education Courses

I am looking for a subject matter expert that can help to develop a title continuing education course about agency risk management.  Given the inevitable enforcement of the CFPB to look at how lending institutions monitor their vendors(read title agencies) title agents will need to know what is required in order to be in compliance.

If you are interested, please contact me by responding to this post or sending me an email at art@learntitle.com.

 

thanks
