John is a member of the National Association of County Recorders, Election Officials and Clerks, the Wisconsin Land Information Association and the Wisconsin Register of Deeds Association. During Mr. La Fave's first term Milwaukee County became one of about 40 recording offices in the nation (out of 3592) that began receiving real estate documents in electronic form. The continued growth of E-Recording will result in a more efficient operation that will provide faster service. John also initiated Internet access to Register of Deeds property records. Real estate-related companies and individuals using home computers can now conveniently research records on-line.

Occasionally John enjoys commuting 22 miles roundtrip to the courthouse via bicycle. John La Fave was born in Milwaukee in 1949 and is a lifelong resident of Milwaukee County.
