CA SOS Issues Customer Alert Regarding Online Notarization Services

The California Secretary of State (CA SOS) recently issued an alert regarding a private company claiming to offer online notarization. The company has sent misleading information and made false claims that its new web-based platform allows a person to submit copies of identification using a webcam in lieu of appearing in person. The CA SOS wants to stress that appearance via webcam is not a permissible option and that online notarization services are not legal in California. Read the complete customer alert here.

Changes at Parasec

Spring is right around the corner and many of us are eager to get things organized and to introduce positive changes and enhancements to our lives. At Parasec and Paracorp, we’re doing the same thing. In fact, we have made several management-level changes that we are confident will help make our accessibility and customer service better than ever.

From this point on, I will act as chairman of the board, a position that will allow me to stay active in the overall vision and direction of the company. This will be a great change for me after spending 20 years as president. While the duties of my position have changed somewhat, I plan to maintain as much customer contact as possible and am looking forward to facing some new challenges.

Matt Marzucco, previously our operations manager, will step into the role of president, taking on responsibility for much of the day-to-day functions of the firm as well as increasing his contact with our wonderful clients. Matt has been with the company for 14 years and has worked in our registered agent division, IT department and our operations wing. Matt and I are both excited about this reorganization because it will give our clients more access when they need a quick response from someone in a top-level position.

Replacing Matt as operations manager will be Jessica Sierras, who has been with Parasec for 12 years and has moved up steadily from account executive to supervisor (of Title and UCC as well as our branches) and now to operations manager. Jessica is an eager learner with a thirst for knowledge and we are confident that she will take the reigns of operations manager with great skill and gusto.

Another change within the company is that Ian Sierchio has assumed the position of sales manager, a role that he has stepped into with great success – as many of our clients can attest. Ian’s insatiable curiosity and hunger for knowledge have led him from acting as one of our regional accounts managers to becoming assistant sales manager and finally to his new role as sales manager.

Phil Conner, previously our acting sales manager, will now focus his efforts on corporate development and other additional projects within the company. His commitment to this company and to our continued growth and success are of great value.

Finally, it would be remiss not to mention Barbara Geiger, who will remain vice president and head of our registered agent division (Paracorp). Barbara has been a member of the Parasec team since 1992, and her knowledge, experience and dedication to our clients and staff have made her an integral part of the company.

As a company, we feel that these management changes will improve our ability to service our clients and at the same time continue to grow and prepare our employees for continuing advancement. Please let us know what you think as you experience this growth with us. Please feel free to contact any of us for any reason you may have, including just to say “hello.”

Lynn Conner

Chairman of the Board
