SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 408
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Municipal Clerks Association is |
|
|
celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Incorporated on June 27, 1986, TMCA supports city |
|
|
secretaries and clerks as they strive to become leaders in their |
|
|
fields of governance; the group can trace its origins even |
|
|
further back to 1952, when its predecessor, the Association of |
|
|
City Clerks and Secretaries of Texas, was organized in Dallas at |
|
|
the annual meeting of what is now known as the International |
|
|
Institute of Municipal Clerks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TMCA is headquartered at the University of North |
|
|
Texas and provides professional development through training, |
|
|
mentorship, and networking for novice and experienced clerks |
|
|
alike; its educational programs foster adherence to the highest |
|
|
ethical standards and promote superior performance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The association administers the Texas Municipal |
|
|
Clerks Certification Program, the state's only university-level |
|
|
professional education program for city clerks and city |
|
|
secretaries; established by the legislature in 1985, it is one of |
|
|
the oldest such programs in the country; Texas Registered |
|
|
Municipal Clerks must obtain recertification every five years, |
|
|
and the program is recognized by the International Institute of |
|
|
Municipal Clerks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, TMCA has 17 chapters and more than 1,000 |
|
|
members across the Lone Star State; the number of clerks holding |
|
|
TRMC designation is expected to exceed 1,000 in 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Municipal clerks are problem-solvers who further |
|
|
continuity of purpose and policy while serving as a direct link |
|
|
between residents and local government, and TMCA plays a vital |
|
|
role in strengthening their effectiveness and commitment to |
|
|
excellence; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Texas Municipal Clerks |
|
|
Association on its 35th anniversary and extend to the |
|
|
organization and its members sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success in their important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the association as an expression of high regard from |
|
|
the Texas Senate. |
