NCARD Conference 2006

The North Carolina Register of Deeds 54th Annual Conference is being held this week in Cumberland County, NC. Hosted by other NC Counties and about an equal number of software companies all vying for county business, I find it more than a little unsettling.

Think about it..

You pay taxes in part to fund county services such as the housing of your precious documents which contain sensitive data including, but not limited to, social security numbers, home addresses, and signatures.

The guardians of those records meet with other guardians across the state to exchange information and attend seminars, again hosted by software companies.

The software companies asking for county business are hosts with gifts and cash to bestow on county representatives.

Legal? Apparently so.

Ethical? Hardly.

If you'd care to see what these virtuous civil servants are posting online about you, get in touch. I'll search your records, send the report back to you, and include names, addresses, and phone numbers of where to complain once you see it - and you will want to. Just don't bother them this week. They're all busy in Cumberland County.
