D’Sjonaun Hockenhull, the deputy city clerk in Romulus, recently achieved a Level Two certification as a Michigan Professional Municipal Clerk (MiPMC) by the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks
(MAMC). The MiPMC program encourages city, township, and village clerks to seek continuing education specifically related to the duties of Michigan clerks. The organization promotes a focus on education which helps ensure municipal clerks provide informed, quality leadership for their communities in the face of constant legislative change and increased demands on Michigan public servants.
A clerk must invest a minimum of 20 hours of educational programming to qualify for a MiPMC Level Two, on top of the 120 hours invested to receive their original MiPMC Level One certification. Whether elected or appointed, municipal clerks serve a powerful role in coordinating public programs and influencing legislative initiatives a organization spokesman noted in a prepared statement.
“Hockenhull is to be commended for the hard work, perseverance and commitment expended to attain a MiPMC Level Two and the dedication to providing quality service to the public and the municipality they serve,” the prepared release noted.
