Municipal officials graduate from Clerks/Treasurers

GREEN BAY — The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has named the graduates of the 2009 Wisconsin Municipal Clerks and Treasurers Institute.

There were 102 clerks and treasurers who this year completed the final program of the three-year sequence or the fourth year of completion for those holding the clerk/treasurer position. This program is designed to advance the professional development of local government officials in Wisconsin.

Each summer, municipal clerks, treasurers and other officials from across the state participate in a week of continuing education courses on the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus organized by the University’s Office of Outreach and Extension. The Institute curriculum consists of three, one-week annual programs with at least 33 hours of classroom instruction per program. This year’s program took place the week of July 12-17.

Course work focuses on the development of technical skills — with an eye on keeping current on rapidly changing technology, regulations and other factors — as well as development of administrative knowledge, leadership abilities and financial management. Faculty members and participants engage in free-flowing exchange of information, share job-related experiences, network with colleagues, and examine factors that contribute to successful on-the-job performance by municipal officials.

Local government officials completing the three-year sequence of programs earn all of the education points needed for national certification, with additional points earned by experience in local government and participation in other meetings and educational seminars. Officials holding the title of both clerk and treasurer are eligible to receive both the clerk’s and treasurer’s certification by completing a fourth year at the institute.

The Clerks Institute at UW-Green Bay is accredited by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks and by the Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association. The Treasurers Institute is accredited by the Association of Public Treasurers – United States and Canada, and by the Municipal Treasurers Association of Wisconsin.
