Volunteering

Application to Serve on a Committee

Public Service is an interesting thing. Some people are drawn to it with a drive “to improve the world.” Others are thrown into it by simply taking a job. It can be rewarding and discouraging, sometimes at the same time. Even when things are not going so well, you can view public service as a learning experience, but hopefully the good times outweigh the bad.

CCMFOA membership provides some outlets during the discouraging times with fellow clerks who are dealing with some of the same issues. Fellow clerks can also point you in the right direction to help you get to the rewarding times. We all need more of those!

CCMFOA is only as good as its members and those people who are willing to step forward and serve on the committees.

I have been nominated to serve as President of CCMFOA. I am honored to be considered for that position, and I hope you will support me. Please also consider serving with me by signing up for one of the CCMFOA committees.
