From Our WMCA President
Hello WMCA Members,
As we roll into May, there’s no shortage of exciting things happening at WMCA. From new initiatives to upcoming events, the energy and engagement across our membership is something to be proud of.
Now Open: Executive Director RFP
We’re excited to share that WMCA has officially launched the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Executive Director Services! This is a major step forward in shaping the future of our organization. A dedicated ad-hoc committee has been leading this process with care and transparency. Proposals are due by noon on June 20, 2025. Once received, the committee will review the submissions and invite top candidates to a virtual membership-wide meet and greet. More details will follow soon. Your participation will be an important part of this transition.
Countdown to Conference 2025
The 2025 Conference Committee has been working hard behind the scenes to plan what promises to be an amazing conference this August. We’re blending education, celebration, and connection all centered around supporting you in your role as a municipal clerk. We hope you’ll be there!
Website Makeover Coming Soon
We’ve also kicked off a full redesign of the WMCA website in partnership with Catalis. The Multimedia Committee has been putting their creativity to work to build a cleaner, easier-to-navigate site that better serves our members. Our goal is to unveil it just in time for the conference, stay tuned!
Wisconsin Clerks at IIMC
Later this month, I’ll be attending the IIMC Annual Conference in St. Louis during the week of May 19, 2025. I’m thrilled to be joined by many fellow Wisconsin clerks, including our 1st Vice President Toya Harrell and 2nd Vice President Karla Endres. This international conference is always a highlight of the year, offering valuable learning and connection with clerks from all over the world.
Committee Sign-Up Reminder - There’s Still Time!
1st Vice President Toya Harrell has been actively building her WMCA committees for her upcoming presidential term. There’s still time to raise your hand and get involved! Committee service is a great way to make a difference, grow professionally, and earn points toward your Wisconsin Certified Professional Clerk (WCPC) certification. Check out the WMCA News Article from May 2 for details on how to apply.
Thank you for all that you do—not only for your communities, but for each other. WMCA is stronger because of your involvement, your kindness, and your dedication.
With gratitude,
Elena Hilby
President, Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association (WMCA)
