Municipal Clerks Certificate Training ProgramThe office of Municipal Clerk, sometimes referred to by the title
of City Secretary or Town Administrator, is at the very hub of local
governance. Municipal clerks are the historians of their communities,
responsible for the recorded history of each local political entity
and its people. They serve the mayor, council, and city manager
(if there is one) and on a daily basis provide the citizens with
a direct link to their government. The development and enhancement
of municipal clerks’ professional skills is therefore critically
important to the effective and efficient functioning of local governmental
processes.
The dates (all Fridays) for the 2009 Municipal Clerks Certificate Training Program are
Sept. 11, 18, 25, and Oct. 2, 9, 16.
Registration cost is $420 and the deadline for registration is September 4.

Preliminary topics for the fall 2009 agenda include:
In support of the key role that is played by the municipal clerk, the International Institute of Municipal Clerks recognizes 46 state, provincial, or regional education centers in the United States and Canada that provide programs of instruction which qualify individuals for the designation of Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC). The University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration conducts an annual series of municipal clerks training sessions, which enrolls municipal and county staff from throughout the State of Delaware, and the tidewater region of Maryland. Participation in this training over a three-year cycle satisfies the educational requirements for the CMC designation.
