Now in its 37th year, the Institute is an intensive educational program designed to assist Municipal Clerks, Recorders, and Treasurers in advancing their skills and knowledge of the profession. It is a partnership effort of the University of Arkansas, the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) and the Arkansas City Clerks, Recorders, and Treasurers Association (ACCRTA).
Welcome
I am pleased to extend an invitation to you to participate in the University of Arkansas Municipal Clerks Institute.
For nearly four decades, the Institute has provided new ideas and practical skills to Arkansas’ municipal clerks, recorders, and treasurers. We have matched up input from the front lines of the profession with expertise from around the state and created an environment where you may exchange information and solutions to shared challenges.
You will have opportunities to meet and learn from others in your profession, gain information to improve the
operations of your city, and enjoy personal enrichment activities to help you perform at your best.
Anyone who has attended the Institute will tell you that it’s no vacation. City clerks, recorders, and treasurers are true community leaders, and you deserve a high-quality, worthwhile educational experience.
So get ready for intensive classroom sessions and exciting new ideas. And get ready for a week you won’t forget!

Institute Director
Certification Program: September 13-18, 2009
The curriculum focuses on three main areas of study: public administration, professional development, and electives. Instructors are drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds, including university faculty members, government
officials, and other subject matter experts in the public and private sectors.
The program is designed to enable candidates to complete educational requirements for Certified Municipal Clerk
status, as set forth by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, and ACCRTA Certified Arkansas Municipal Clerk status, within a three-year cycle. Participants may enter the program in any year and still complete all necessary subjects.
