On March 25th and 26th, I, along with members of our Executive Committee, attended the Region I Annual Meeting of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) in Providence, Rhode Island. There were 56 in attendance. We were welcomed by the Providence City Clerk Anna Stetson and Providence Mayor David Cicilline. We attended the Providence Senate Chamber and were all recognized as Clerks by Resolution of the Senate and also had a tour of the State House and City Hall. IIMC has also approved an Annual Conference Scanning Policy in order to receive credit for attendance at all Conference sessions, Academies, General Sessions, Athenian Leadership Dialogues and Concurrent Educations sessions. IIMC’s Board of Directors voted to eliminate IIMC’s Recertification Program as of January 1, 2010. The decision was made in support of those growing numbers of members who have opted out of Recertification in lieu for the more prestigious Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) program, and to further support our clerks who are contented remaining Certified Municipal Clerks (CMC). Special Thanks to our IIMC Region I Directors Bernice Dixon and James Mullen, Jr. to doing a great job on the IIMC Region I Annual Meeting.
