Bill Ronhaar, CEO of Whatcom Land Title Co., recently was named chair of the state’s Limited Practice Board by the Washington State Supreme Court.
Ronhaar, who has nearly 50 years of experience in the title industry, joined Whatcom Land Title in 2014. He has been named a National Title Professional by the American Land Title Association and a Washington Title Professional by the Washington Land Title Association, where he also served as president on three separate occasions.
The Limited Practice Board is composed of nine individuals, four of whom must be attorneys. It also must include a representative from the escrow, lending, title insurance and the real estate sectors. They are responsible for the Limited Practice Officer (LPO) examination, develop and approve forms for use by limited practice officers and play a role in the LPO discipline system. Ronhaar has served on the board for the past six years.
“Bill Ronhaar’s expertise and integrity make him an ideal selection to chair the Limited Practice Board,” said Colleen Baldwin, owner of Whatcom Land Title.
