Educational Opportunities

In an effort to provide opportunities for continuing education and professionalism for all North Carolina Municipal Clerks, several organizations have instituted educational programs and session opportunities.   

The NCAMC Annual Summer Academy is traditionally held in early to mid August and includes approximately three days of training and networking opportunities.

A Master Municipal Clerk Session is usually offered in conjunction with the Academy. The location of the Academy is rotated among the following three general locations in North Carolina: Western/Mountain, Eastern/Coastal, and Central/Piedmont. 

The program is planned jointly by the UNC School of Government and the North Carolina Association of Municipal of Municipal Clerks (NCAMC) and the North Carolina Association of County Clerks.

There are typically two and one-half days of educational sessions, a business meeting session, a Master Municipal Clerk Academy as well as a Special New Clerks Workshop.  

The purpose of Regional School is to provide clerks with convenient, accessible educational opportunities on a regional basis during the year.

The Regional Schools offer identical one day training programs in each of the four regions and are usually held on Fridays, if possible, any time from late March through April. The schools afford all clerks in North Carolina the opportunity to learn ways to improve their effectiveness in carrying out their duties and responsibilities, while also sharing knowledge and networking with other clerks. They are provided in four locations to help keep your travel time and costs down.

The Clerks' Certification Institute is sponsored by the UNC School of Government and is approved by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC).

The School provides an opportunity for clerks to fulfill the educational component of the Certified Municipal Clerk requirements.
