In 1924 six Los Angeles escrow officers and supervisors began meeting to discuss problems of interest and decided to form an escrow association. By 1956 six other associations had been formed and the California Escrow Association was born (CEA). The Escrow Association of Santa Clara Valley (EASCV) was chartered in 1974.
From those formative years our association has grown from a handful of members to one of the largest regional associations within CEA. Our membership in CEA includes membership in the American Escrow Association (AEA) which gives us a voice at the federal level. Our Association became a non-profit organization in 1990.
With our CEA membership we offer professional designations. Members who qualify must pass a written and verbal test. Upon passing, depending on which designation the member was testing for, they can be a CEO (Certified Escrow Officer), CSEO, Certified Senior Escrow Officer, CET (Certified Escrow Technician) CEI (Certified Escrow Instructor) as well as mobile home or bulk sale specialist. Each designation requires continuing education for a member to maintain their designation.
Our main goal is the education of members. To accomplish our goal we offer educational dinner meetings with speakers of timely topics of interest. We also offer workshops and seminars to keep our members abreast of what is new or important in our industry as well classes to maintain their designation. As our industry changes so does the Escrow Association of Santa Clara Valley.
