The award was presented during a ceremony at the PRIA 2019 Annual Conference, which was held August 26-29 in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving been a Register of Deeds early on in my career, I am all too aware of the challenges facing the property records industry and, as such, have been deeply committed to helping the industry address these challenges through technology,\u201d Ladd said. \u201cI\u2019m truly honored to have been honored by my peers for these efforts and proudly join the ranks of the select few that have received the Founders Award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given his work with PRIA, the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) via MISMO, there are very few, if any, aspects of the real estate industry that haven\u2019t benefited from Ladd\u2019s efforts and leadership over the course of his more than 20 years of experience. Before joining Simplifile in 2011 as Director of Channel Sales, Ladd acted as a consultant for the PRIA on its Technology Committee. As part of his role with PRIA, he also worked as the vice-chair of the Residential Governance Committee for the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/19-0923s2p-mark-ladd-696x696.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Ladd of Simplifile\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/19-0923s2p-mark-ladd-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/19-0923s2p-mark-ladd-696x696-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><br \/>\nIn 2014, Ladd was elected as the president of PRIA and in 2015, he received the Certified MISMO\u00ae Standards Professional Designation, the only MISMO certification program available for individuals within the mortgage industry. As the immediate past-president, Ladd continues to serve as an ex-officio member PRIA\u2019s Board of Directors and is also involved in the Uniform Law Commission\u2019s Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) Enactment Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMark Ladd has been a tremendous asset not just to Simplifile, but to the entire real estate ecosystem. He is a tireless advocate for efficiency and innovation in real estate from both an operational and a regulatory standpoint, and his commitment to serving this industry is second to none,\u201d Simplifile President Paul Clifford said. \u201cSimplifile is honored to count the latest PRIA Founders Award recipient as one of our own, and we wholeheartedly congratulate Mark on this well-deserved honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To view the complete list of Founders Award winners, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pria.us\/i4a\/pages\/index.cfm?pageID=3357\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.pria.us\/i4a\/pages\/index.cfm?pageID=3357<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Simplifile:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Simplifile, the nation\u2019s largest e-recording network, was founded in 2000 to connect settlement agents and county recorders via its e-recording service.
