The IIMC Annual Conference is dedicated to being the foremost education and networking experience for Municipal Clerk professionals. Innovative learning formats and engaging spaces allow you to align your education to your own personal needs, interests, and learning level. As you administer your own education experience with your professional objectives in mind, you will be able to challenge yourself to explore new formats and find fun in your learning. For four days you also will be part of an extensive learning community.
As Municipal Clerks, you are the gateway to city hall and are, unequivocally, one of the team members the elected officials count on to make sure public meetings, public records, elections and special projects operate smoothly. This requires you to engage in continuing education and networking to keep abreast of changing laws and trends.
IIMC Annual Conferences provide a vehicle for members to receive the background and knowledge needed to help them deal with current problems. The future of municipal government depends on informed public officials.
In Minneapolis, Delegates will hear keynote speakers who will speak to you about “Strategic Communication: 'LIFE' Skills for Leaders”; and “GET YOUR SHIFT TOGETHER How to Think, Laugh & Enjoy Your Way to Success in Business & in Life.” Other Education highlights include four Athenian Dialogues, six Academy Sessions and a bevy of concurrent sessions that include: 4 Unspoken Communication Secrets Every Municipal Clerk Needs To Know; Digital Government; How To Master The Whiners And Make Them Winners; Civility CPR; Federal Resources For Elected Officials; Election Security In Time Of Disturbance; Right Sizing The Clerk’s Office; Digital Government: Bringing Your Municipality Into The 21st Century; Understanding Modern Discrimination And Diversity In Municipal Affairs to name a few.
All of these sessions can help you and your community to stay ahead of a challenging and fluctuating environment.
Of course, there will also be numerous opportunities to network and connect with colleagues from throughout the world.
If you've been to an IIMC Annual Conference in the past, we commend your commitment to continuing education and look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis in May 2023. If you've never attended an IIMC Annual Conference, then make Minneapolis your first of many and come join the learning community.
