| Greetings! | President's Message
It is my distinct privilege to serve as the President of NTMCA for the upcoming year. Since making the commitment to become actively involved in the Association, I have reaped the rewards of personal and professional friendships, idea sharing, and further knowledge and perspectives from the many talented and tenured clerks. I would encourage everyone to seek to become more involved in YOUR Association in the upcoming year. There are many opportunities at the local level as well as the state level. Please take the time to review the committee list and choose one or two committees that you would like to serve on.
I would like to congratulate and recognize the incoming NTMCA officer's for their commitment to serve the Association over the next year in their respective capacities. The officer's are busy at work transitioning into their new roles. Great strides have been made over the past year to launch the NTMCA website, institute on-line registration and payment, and implement a communication tool that meets the communication needs of the Association. The Board will continue over the next year to add useful information to the website and strive to communicate with our members regularly and effectively.
In closing, I encourage you to make the commitment to attend the monthly meetings and take advantage of the opportunities to learn a thing or two from the programs that will be offered and enjoy the fellowship of your fellow clerks.
I look forward to the year ahead and seeing you at the meeting in November in Granbury!
Kim Sutter
NTMCA President
