The clerk behind the curtain: Let's celebrate our municipal MVPs!

Ever wonder who tracks down that stray resolution from 1998, answers the phone when half the town is arguing about zoning, and can somehow juggle five statutory deadlines before their morning coffee?

Chances are, it's your municipal clerk!

From elections and public records to agendas, licensing, and everything in between, municipal clerks are the ultimate multitaskers, problem-solvers, and keepers of institutional knowledge. They're often the people working behind the scenes to make sure everything runs like clockwork — even when the clock seems to have a mind of its own!

Colorado Municipal Clerks Association (CMCA) provides a monthly Clerk Corner that celebrates the incredible individuals who go above and beyond for their municipalities. Whether they're introducing innovative ideas, providing exceptional customer service, mentoring colleagues, or simply being the person everyone turns to when they need an answer, we want to hear their stories!

Calling all municipal managers and elected officials: Do you know a clerk who deserves a little extra recognition? Nominate them and tell us what makes them extraordinary.

Let's celebrate the people who keep local government moving forward — one agenda, one record, and one deadline at a time!

Submit a nomination on the CMCA website!
