June 22: Effective Grant Writing for Municipal Clerks NEW
Testimonial for Online Professional Development Program, Ethics in Action: As municipal clerks, we often find ourselves in ethical dilemmas. Through the recent educational session, “Ethics in Action,” participants studied real life scenarios found within our municipalities. The discussion of these scenarios and solutions provided participants the opportunity to understand the consequences of our actions and/or inactions. This interactive session was a reminder that the ethics and integrity of our respective offices are paramount in today’s society. This session also brought home the importance of our personal ethics in the workplace. -- Pamela Smith, MMC

IIMC staff continues to work daily, ascertaining that we are meeting our members' needs and ensuring there is continuity within the Organization. Staff continues to work full-time via a staggered schedule, splitting its time in the office and remotely as we slowly maneuver our way into having everyone safely back at headquarters. The timetable to return staff safely to a full office schedule is still in flux. Staff's safety and continuous service to our members are paramount. As of this E-Briefing, staff will continue to operate using a staggered schedule until it's safe to return everyone to work.
The Education Department has been working with Institutes and IIMC affiliated online companies to produce webinars and to provide complimentary and discounted online courses. Members who have certification points on file may still schedule appointments in available time slots to discuss reviewed certification applications and points received.
