WASHINGTON The American Land Title Association, the main lobbying arm of the title insurance industry, will host 1,000 members at its annual gathering this October, which will be held at the Trump National Doral golf course and resort in southern Florida.

The annual event, known as ALTA One , provides members with the opportunity to network and build relationships with colleagues, according to an invite for the event. It will also allow an organization actively lobbying President Donald Trump s administration to put money in the presidents pocket.

When Trump took office, he decided to maintain ownership of the multibillion-dollar Trump Organization while transferring management responsibility to his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. By not fully separating himself from his business and its profits, he opened himself up to numerous conflicts of interest, both real and potential. That the presidents many properties routinely play host to the conferences and conventions of the groups now seeking to influence his policy decisions is one of them.

Its a problem, said Larry Noble, an ethics and campaign finance law expert at the Campaign Legal Center. The appearance is that they may be seeking favor with the White House by supporting the presidents properties.

The title insurance industry is indeed looking to influence executive branch actions in lobbying for relief from regulations under the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. Specifically, the industry has lobbied for legislation to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, seeking to turn it into an independent commission with a board of commissioners that both Republicans and Democrats would appoint. The bureau imposed new disclosure rules on the industry in 2016.

Trump has promised to dismantle the Dodd-Frank law. We expect to be cutting a lot out of Dodd-Frank, he said in a Feb. 3 meeting with Wall Street CEOs . But Trump has not yet said what he plans to do with the CFPB. Some congressional Republicans continue to push legislation ALTA has previously supported that would turn the bureau into an independent commission . Another group is calling on Trump to fire CFPB head Richard Cordray and replace him with someone more friendly to the industries the bureau regulates.
