The CMC Academy is an intensive program of continuing professional education for municipal clerks and deputy clerks. The purpose of the CMC Fall Academy is to provide the core classes considered essential for clerks to fulfill their day-to-day responsibilities, as well as to enhance leadership and administrative skills, update practical knowledge of clerks in a time of constant change, and provide a bridge between the latest academic theories and realities of current policies and practices. With increased municipal responsibilities, there is a great need for professional education to assist the municipal clerk in acquiring new skills and knowledge while strengthening those already in use.

A CMC (Certified Municipal Clerk) certification is a special designation granted by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) to clerks who have completed 120 hours of attendance at a recognized academy and/or fulfilled other educational or non-educational requirements. Additionally, a CMC candidate must have been a member of IIMC for a minimum of two years. To be recognized by the IIMC, the academy must provide instruction in public administration and personal development. Therefore, not all sessions presented will be applicable to every clerks’ unique position. These sessions are required to achieve a satisfactory completion of the IIMC certification training.

The MMC (Master Municipal Clerk) certification is an educational program designed to encourage municipal clerks to continue their professional growth and development beyond attainment of the prestigious CMC designation. The MMC honors and salutes continued high-level achievement.
