Everyone in the Clerk's Office is cross-trained on all Clerk's Office duties. All Clerk's Office employees are either working toward or have already earned certification as a Wisconsin Certified Municipal Clerk through the Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association.
Everyone in the office is part of the Clerk's Office Racial Equity & Social Justice team. We devote time every Tuesday to focusing on equity. The entire office has completed the YWCA Racial Justice Workshop series, participated in the YWCA Racial Justice Summit, and completed Hard Conversations: An Introduction to Racism and its Undoing. Half the office is completing Justified Anger: Black History for a New Day training in 2020, and the other half of the office will complete this training in 2021.
