WMCA Certification Programs Offered
The Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association is an educational catalyst for Municipal Clerks. Its vision is to instill in Municipal Clerks the desire for continual learning and professional development, inviting and encouraging them to grow and extend beyond their present levels of development.
To that end, the WMCA implemented its own certification programs in July 2005. Wisconsin certifications can be obtained by earning points in education, career and lifelong learning experiences, and committing to the WMCA Code of Ethics.
The WMCA Certification Program consists of two levels - the WCMC - Wisconsin Certified Municipal Clerk and then the WCPC - Wisconsin Certified Professional Clerk.
The WMCA Certification Committee reviews all applications twice a year. Applications must be postmarked by March 1st or October 1st.
