News from the WMCA Annual Convention
September 14th, 2009
Morgan with Diane Hermann-Brown, City Clerk of Sun Prairie, WI
I recently had the luxury of attending the Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association Annual Convention in Milwaukee on behalf of Laserfiche. In short, the event can be typified by the State’s new slogan “Live Like You Mean It.” Don’t let the peaceful, rolling hills of this pristine State fool you. These municipalities mean business!
I witnessed nearly 400 Wisconsin Clerks descend upon Milwaukee with one goal in mind: better public service. Throughout the week of the Convention these civic leaders hustled between classes, presentations and meetings to enjoy the occasional minnow race and more sharing than I have ever seen. At any given moment one could find dozens of clerks discussing the latest in elections, laws, permits, budgets, technology, facilities, etc., all with the purpose of bringing value back to their towns, villages and cities. Proudly the clerks claim to find “growth through caring, knowledge through sharing!”
