My Clerk Story

Sweearing in of President Anne Uecker

From WMCA President Anne Uecker, WCPC/MMC

 I don’t know about you, but I am ready for Spring - and it seems like the weather is starting to agree.  The old standing joke was that in Wisconsin we have two seasons – winter and road construction.  I think in 2012 we have only one – ELECTION SEASON!  The Election Communications Committee has been busy keeping all of us up to date on last minute changes which are so helpful.  Thank you to the Committee for staying on top of things.

On February 3rd, the Executive Board met in Plover.  At the meeting, the Board approved the Strategic Plan, the Mission Statement, and worked on prioritizing the four major goals that came out of the Strategic Planning session held in December, 2011.

The Mission Statement represents what the Executive Board feels is the core value of WMCA:

WMCA is the premier source for the personal empowerment of Municipal Clerks of Wisconsin through education, professional development, and promotion of excellence.

The 4 goals that will be priorities for the Board are (in no particular order):

1.  Evaluate the Current WMCA Governance Model

2.  Enhance Communication with WMCA Members

3.  Extend the Professional Image and Influence of Municipal Clerks

4.  Complete WMCA Strategic Plan with Effective Communication

Each goal has a “champion” – someone who is going to work on it, perhaps form a small ad-hoc committee, and then present to the Executive Board the information gathered as well as action needed to be taken for  granted further discussion and implementation.  As you can see, none of these goals are small undertakings, but on the other hand, none are unattainable.
