We are incredibly proud and excited to support Dawn as she brings her leadership, passion, and vision to IIMC. We know the year ahead will be filled with meaningful progress and inspiring achievements under her guidance.
Way to go, President Abrahamson—Region IX is cheering you on every step of the way!
A Message From Your Region IX Director
MARC A. DONOHUE, MMC
GREETINGS MEMBERS OF REGION IX!
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the year. Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to soak up some sunshine, take a break, and enjoy time with family and friends. Summer is a great time to pause, reflect, and recharge—whether you’re taking on new projects or simply making space for personal growth.
As we enjoy the longer days and a slower pace, here’s wishing you continued success and balance in all that you do. Now, let’s dive into some updates:
WMCA CONFERENCE
In March, I had the pleasure of attending the Washington Municipal Clerks Association (WMCA) Annual Conference at the stunning Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine, Washington. The theme, “Leading for a Legacy, Super Clerks!”, set the tone for an inspiring and energizing week focused on leadership and personal growth. The conference featured a variety of impactful sessions aimed at helping clerks embrace their inner “superpowers” and lead with purpose and vision. The energy, camaraderie, and passion throughout the event were truly motivating.
I was once again blown away by the generosity of the WMCA members. Through both their silent and live auctions, the association raised thousands of dollars to support clerk education—a testament to their ongoing commitment to professional development.
A big congratulations to Past President Elizabeth Adkisson on a successful and memorable year of leadership! I had the distinct honor of traveling with Liz during her presidency
and witnessing firsthand the fresh energy and thoughtful perspective she brought to the association. Her legacy will undoubtedly continue to influence WMCA for years to come.
Congratulations to the following individuals who were honored at this year’s Washington Municipal Clerks Association (WMCA) Annual Conference:
1. Stephanie M. Haug, Outstanding Clerk of the Year
2. Treva Zumek, Lifetime Achievement Award
3. Luke Lonie, Trail Blazer Award
4. Cassidy Mueller, Inspiration Award
Both recipients exemplify dedication, leadership, and excellence in the profession. Well-deserved recognitions!
I’m also excited to travel with new WMCA President Heidi Napolitino over the next year.
I look forward to supporting her and seeing her vision for WMCA come to life!
CMCA CONFERENCE
In April, I had the pleasure of attending the California Municipal Clerks Association (CMCA) Annual Conference in San Jose, California. This year’s theme, “Shaping Our Future Together,” was not only inspiring but also deeply meaningful, as it marked the first conference under the association’s new name—formerly the City Clerks Association of California. It was also a personal milestone for me: my first home-state conference as Region Director! The conference offered an array of insightful sessions, including topics like building a culture of wellness in the workplace, strategic leadership for the future, and the clerk’s vital role in ensuring trust in democracy. Beyond the sessions, the conference was rich with networking opportunities—highlighted by a fun and lively Trivia Night sponsored by Tom Diebert at NetFile.
Congratulations to the following individuals who took home awards at this year’s CMCA conference:
1. Candice Alvarez, Municipal Clerk of the Year
1. Lisa Pope, Lifetime Achievement Award
2. Linda Troyan, Lifetime Achievement Award
3. Jessica Cooper, Assistant City Clerk of the Year
4. Lillian Harris- Neal, Spirit of Service Award
5. Jennifer Woodworth, Award of Distinction – Mentoring
6. Michael MacDonald, Award of Distinction – Legislation
7. Sylvia Bermudez, Award of Distinction – Good Samaritan
8. Yudiana Galvan, Award of Distinction – Rising Star
9. Alexis Mejia, Award of Distinction – Humanitarian
10. Particia Barajas, Award of Distinction – Administration, Organization, & Communications
11. Innovative Program of the Year, City of Sacramento City Clerk’s Office
A heartfelt congratulations to Past President Jessica Blair for an impactful year of leadership and for spearheading the association’s name change initiative. This new identity positions CMCA to be even more inclusive and representative of the broad and diverse network of municipal clerks and special district clerks from across the state.
I also want to give a special shoutout to one of my closest friends and CMCA’s new President, Ashton Arocho! During banquet night, President Arocho made the thrilling announcement that next year’s conference will be held at the Disneyland Hotel—as a fellow Disney fan, I couldn’t be more excited! I look forward to traveling with her over the next year and supporting the implementation of her bold and inspiring vision for CMCA.
This conference also marked the end of my service on the CMCA Board of Directors, as I completed my term as Immediate Past President. Serving on the board over the past seven years has truly been an honor. I leave with immense pride and gratitude, knowing CMCA is in great hands with the next generation of leaders ready to take it to new heights.
IIMC ANNUAL CONFERENCE
In May, I had the opportunity to travel to St. Louis, Missouri for the IIMC Annual Conference. Before the main conference began, I participated in a two-day pre-conference session with the IIMC Board of Directors, which included a full day of board development and a formal board meeting. During our time together, we engaged in meaningful discussions and strategic planning around key initiatives and priorities for IIMC. Several important topics were covered, highlights of which are outlined in the Board Recap section of this newsletter.
For those who didn’t know, St. Louis was originally supposed to host the IIMC Annual Conference in 2020, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19. This was a conference that was literally ten years in the making. The theme for this year’s conference was “Gateway to Education”, and it certainly was that.
One of the highlights of the conference was the Region IX event at the St. Louis Cardinals game! A special thank you to OAMR for planning this year’s event, particularly OAMR
President Kayla Duddy and Past President Nanci Sandoval. We had over 90 members attend the event and even through the thunder and rain, everyone had a great time networking and enjoying America’s pastime. This conference came with mixed emotions as I had to say goodbye to outgoing Region IX Director Jamie Newman. Since my years as President of CMCA, Jamie has served as a mentor and friend to me. It was an honor to serve as Region Director with her during my first year on the board. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and the members of Region IX!
I’m thrilled to welcome Shawn Campbell as our new Region IX Director! I had the pleasure of traveling with Shawn when we both served as Presidents of our respective state associations, and I can confidently say—she is a tremendous leader with an unwavering commitment to the clerk profession. Shawn brings a wealth of experience, energy, and dedication to the role, and I know she will work tirelessly on behalf of the members of Region IX. I’m looking forward to serving alongside her on the IIMC Board over the next two years.
I’d like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Past IIMC President Lisa Garcia for her tremendous year of leadership. Over the past year, Lisa guided IIMC with grace,
resilience, and unwavering dedication. Through both challenges and triumphs, her steady hand was instrumental in moving the organization forward. Thank you, Lisa, for your service and for your commitment to IIMC and our profession.
I’m also thrilled to offer a huge congratulations to our new IIMC President and Region IX’s own, Dawn Abrahamson! Dawn is the first IIMC President from Region IX since Sheri Pierce from Alaska and the first President from California since Colleen Nichol. I’m honored to work alongside President Abrahamson and look forward to supporting her as she brings her inspiring vision for IIMC to life.

Don’t forget to join us for our virtual Lunch Time with Region IX event on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Alaska Time / 12:00 p.m. PT! Shawn and I will be providing updates on everything related to IIMC and answering any questions that you might have. To register for the zoom, click here.

Greetings, Members of Region IX!
SHAWN CAMPBELL, MMC
It is a tremendous honor to write my first article as one of your Region IX Director representatives with IIMC. As I begin this journey, I am honored to represent Region IX alongside Marc and deeply appreciate the trust you have placed in us.
I want to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude to Jamie Newman for her exceptional dedication, mentorship, and leadership. Jamie’s guidance has been invaluable, not just to me but to our entire region. Her ability to lead with integrity, vision, and unwavering commitment has set a standard that inspires all of us. She has played a critical role in shaping Region IX’s progress, ensuring that members feel supported and empowered. Her mentorship has helped foster growth, collaboration, and long-term success for our region, and I am personally grateful for the wisdom and encouragement she has provided. Her influence will undoubtedly continue to strengthen Region IX for years to come, and I know we will all benefit from the foundation she has built.
Thank you, Jamie, for your leadership and for being an incredible role model. Your contributions and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we appreciate everything you have done to elevate Region IX.
I am excited to serve on the IIMC Board alongside fellow Region IX Director Marc Donohue. Throughout my tenure as WMCA President, I had the privilege of getting to know Marc during our many travels across the Region, as we were State Presidents at the same time. His knowledge, leadership, and dedication to our field are truly inspiring, and I look forward to his mentorship and guidance as I begin this journey of service to the members of Region IX.
As always, I want to emphasize that your Region Directors are here to support and advocate for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with
any thoughts, questions, or concerns. IIMC is a constantly evolving organization, always striving to better serve its members. Change is often necessary for growth, and your input is invaluable in ensuring that we continue to move in the right direction. To best represent you, we need to hear from you, so I encourage you to share your perspectives with us.
Reflecting on the IIMC Conference in St. Louis, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities we had to learn, network, and build lasting friendships. I was especially proud of the strong delegation of Clerks from Region IX who attended and represented our Region so well. A special thank you to the State of Oregon for hosting a fantastic Region IX event at the Cardinals game—it was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, camaraderie, and great food!
I also want to remind you to check out our Region IX store! A percentage of every sale is donated to the Region IX Endowment within the IIMC Foundation, directly funding education scholarships for Clerks in our region, and we are all about education! You can explore the store here IIMC Region IX Store | Official Merchandise | Bonfire. Be sure to check in regularly, as new merchandise is frequently added!
I am looking forward to representing Region IX at the upcoming OAMR Annual Conference in Eugene, Oregon, and the AAMC Annual Conference in Anchorage, Alaska. Additionally, IIMC will hold its annual mid-year meeting this November, and we will provide updates in our next newsletter. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any comments, questions, or concerns. I welcome your engagement and look forward to connecting with many of you soon.
Best regards, Shawn Campbell, MMC | Region IX Director City Clerk, Auburn, WA

Transition of Points to Hours Based Education Update
MARC A. DONOHUE, MMC | SHAWN CAMPBELL, MMC
In March 2024, the IIMC Education and Professional Development Committee presented a proposal to expand eligibility of offering hours-based education to all organizations meeting IIMC course review standards. This was in response to the growing demand for more accessible and diverse educational opportunities among IIMC members. In May 2024, the Board authorized the IIMC Education Department to explore this potential change.
While we agree that expansion of education to all members of IIMC is vital and should be pursued, the shift from points based to hours-based education could be potential harmful to the survival of Institutes, particularly the two Institutes that serve Region IX. Those being the Municipal Clerks Institute operated by Dr. Randi Johl and the Northwest Clerks Institute operated by Joann Tilton.
State approved Institutes currently have a 50%-point ratio advantage as compared to any normal education offering approved by IIMC. That means for every two hours of education at an Institute, you receive one point vs. one point for every four hours of education at any other IIMC approved education course.
A shift to hours-based education could potentially eliminate that point ratio advantage for institutes. Why is it important for State-specific Institutes to keep that existing 50%-point ratio advantage?
1. State and Local Laws/Procedures - State-specific training ensures clerks receive education directly aligned with their state statutes, open public meeting laws, election laws, public records requirements, and municipal governance structures. Institutes can quickly adapt training modules to reflect new laws or court rulings specific to the state. Certification through Institutes is currently valuable to many local government agencies because they understand these Institutes to be the front-line technical and legal training for their municipal clerks/employees.
2. Professional Standards and Accountability - A points-based system through Institutes encourages a deeper engagement and understanding of specific and relevant topics as identified by States and IIMC, rather than simply counting time spent on general education. The existing system includes built-in quality control by States and IIMC avoiding inconsistency of general hour-based attendance at general trainings.
3. Networking and Peer Learning - Institutes bring municipal clerks together from across the State(s), allowing for shared challenges, best practices, sharing resources, and collaborative problem solving that general programs and online offerings may not facilitate. Standardized point allocation for pre-approved education by States and IIMC also creates consistency in the quality and depth of education across each State.
4. Local Economies and Professional Communities - Keeping training state-based at Institutes ensures investment in local trainers, venues, and educational infrastructure, fostering stronger professional ecosystems with elected officials, municipal directors and attorneys, and other municipal and local community stakeholders.
5. Institutional Knowledge and Sustainability - Institutes often carry deep experience and curated curriculum tailored to local government practices in their States that would be lost with a shift to general online training. The municipal clerk profession continues to be challenged on many
fronts including elections, laws and regulations, and community trust. Local mentorships are critical for generational transitions and the overall growth of the profession into the future. In-person and/or hybrid state-specific education through the Institutes contributes to the future.
At the May 2025 Board meeting, the IIMC Education Department provided an update on the points vs. hours discussion and are still researching the issue with no immediate timeline to launch. IIMC has committed to fully vesting participants to formulate a new approach prior to any further discussion with the IIMC Board. Their recommendation will come after the Education Department has exhausted all possible progressions to ensure all entities are satisfied with the future course of action.
Your Region Directors are also committed to keeping all of you in the loop as this policy moves forward in the future. If you have any questions about this topic, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Marc A. Donohue, MMC Region IX Director
Shawn Campbell, MMC Region IX Director

IIMC President Dawn’s Summer Message
DAWN ABRAHAMSON, MMC
It is hard to believe I have been President of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks for over a month now. Serving as President of IIMC is truly one of the greatest honors of my life.
I want to express my deepest appreciation to Region IX for your unwavering support. Representing Region IX from 2018 to 2021 as a Region Director was an honor and privilege and I am proud to continue as President to represent my home state, California, Region IX and all members.
Recognizing that not all were able to join us at the IIMC Annual Conference this past May, I am pleased to share with you some of the highlights of my acceptance speech, which reflects my vision and gratitude as I begin this journey, and captures the heart of what this new chapter means to me.
IIMC has long been a cornerstone of excellence in our profession. It has been a space for innovation, collaboration and growth. And as we look to the future, we are presented with an opportunity – a calling – to strengthen our foundation and to reimagine how we serve and support one another.
This role is not something I take lightly. I know the value of being seen, of being heard, and of being included – because for much of my life, I have also known what it is like to be left out.
As a person who is hard of hearing, I’ve had to navigate a world that wasn’t always built with me
in mind. There were moments when i had to fight to be part of a conversation, moments when i had to prove that my voice mattered – just like anyone else’s. And through those experiences, i learned that access, inclusion, and empathy aren’t just nice ideas – they are essential. They are transformative. They are what allow people not only to survive, but to thrive.
And that is what i want for IIMC – for every one of our members. To not only be welcomed, but to be celebrated. To not only be included, but to be empowered.
As we look to the year ahead, my vision for IIMC is clear and centered on two guiding principles: rebuilding trust and fostering true inclusion.
Rebuilding trust means being transparent, being accountable, and being present. It means listening – truly listening – to our member’s needs, concerns, and hopes. Trust isn’t given; it’s earned through consistent action. I am committed to earning and nurturing trust every step of the way.
Fostering inclusion means ensuring that every voice has a safe space, every story has value, and every member – regardless of background, experience or identity – feels seen, heard, and respected. We are at our best when we bring all perspectives to the table. Diversity is not just a value; it’s a strength that drives innovation and progress. This includes removing barriers, amplifying underrepresented voices and making intentional spaces for each other’s stories and contributions.
I also want this year to be one of innovation and vision. To look beyond the status quo, explore bold new ideas, embrace technology, and foster leadership for the next generation of clerks. Together, we will ask: what’s next for IIMC? What do we want to build – not just for today, but for the future?
IIMC is a powerful and deeply committed group of professionals who care about our work, our people, and our future. I believe that when we harness the full strength of our diver-
sity – when we create a culture of belonging – there’s no limit to what we can accomplish. And above all, we will move forward with empathy, humility, and a shared belief that this association belongs to all of us.
So how do we begin this work? As the first step in rebuilding trust amongst our members, IIMC Committees are already diving into their assignments for the year ahead. A total of nine policies have been assigned to our committees for review, some of which are new policies, and some are existing policies being considered for revision. These assignments are a direct response to member
feedback and reflect the Board’s commitment to improving the organization in ways that matter most to you. I’ll share more of these assignments in my August message in the IIMC News Digest.
As we begin a new term with a new IIMC Executive Committee and Board, I invite each Region IX member to make this year one of unity, trust and transformative inclusion both within the IIMC family but also in our respective agencies. I am excited for what lies ahead – and grateful to walk this path with all of you.
REFLECTING ON MY TERM AS REGION IX DIRECTOR
JAMIE NEWMAN, MMC | PAST REGION IX DIRECTOR | IIMC BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As of May 2025, I completed my term on the IIMC Board of Directors representing Region IX. Serving IIMC members from Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington has been a deeply rewarding experience and one I will always treasure.
Region IX has long been a source of leadership and innovation within IIMC, and I was honored to serve during a time of significant engagement and progress. I had the privilege of working alongside current IIMC President Dawn Abrahamson (California), whose vision and leadership continue to elevate our profession on a global scale. I also want to recognize Past President Sheri Pierce (Alaska), whose dedication and service have left a lasting legacy across the organization.
Our region’s strength lies not only in its numbers but in its people. I extend heartfelt thanks to the State Association Presidents (past and present) across Region IX who lead with purpose and ensure that our members are supported, connected, and empowered.
This journey would not have been possible without the outstanding Region IX Leadership Team. I am especially grateful to:
• Ruth Post (Oregon), former Region IX Director, for her mentorship and steadfast support.
• Marc Donohue (California) and Shawn Campbell (Washington), our current Region IX Directors, whose leadership ensures the continued momentum of our region.
Together, we celebrated key milestones, including:
• Supporting approximately 1,800 members across Region IX.
• Assisting scholarship recipients in pursuing professional development.
• Encouraging regional participation at the IIMC Annual Conference and State Association Conferences.
I also want to extend sincere thanks to the IIMC Foundation Board of Directors for their tireless work in supporting scholarships, grants, and professional opportunities for clerks worldwide. Region IX is well represented on the Foundation Board, and I want to especially acknowledge our members who serve or have served in that capacity: Treasurer Colleen J. Nicol (California) and Secretary Tracy Davis (Oregon). Your leadership helps ensure that educational opportunities are accessible to all, and your work is appreciated more than words can express.
Representing Region IX on the IIMC Board has been an incredible honor. Thank you to all our members for your trust, input, and commitment to the profession. Your work in your communities continues to inspire me every day.
Though my term has ended, I look forward to remaining engaged with IIMC and our state associations, supporting future leaders, and continuing to contribute to the growth and success of Region IX.
With strong leadership and a vibrant, engaged membership, Region IX is well-positioned to continue leading by example. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey - it has been a privilege I will always cherish.
In service and gratitude, Jamie Newman, MMC Wasilla City Clerk (Alaska)
ALASKA ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL CLERKS
DANYIELLE SNIDER, MMC | PRESIDENT
We’ve finally reached the time of year that most Alaskans eagerly await—sweet summer! Although it arrived a little late in my part of the state, it was well worth the wait. The fireweed is in bloom, the sun shines nearly around the clock, and Alaskans are seizing every moment of this brief but magical season, stepping away from routines to soak it all in.
The past few months have been a whirlwind of travel and learning opportunities, including the WMCA Conference in Blaine, WA (March); the CMCA Conference in San Jose, CA (late April); and the IIMC Conference in St. Louis, MO (May). Each event offered excellent educational sessions, fun activities, and invaluable networking with fellow clerks. It’s inspiring to see the diversity across the states in our region while recognizing the common challenges and goals we all share.
Throughout my journey in this profession, one thing that has consistently stood out to me is how clerks support each other. We lift each other up, share knowledge, and collaborate openly. We network, brainstorm, and mentor one another. We embrace each other’s growth and care deeply about each other’s well-being. Together, we problem-solve in ways that are unlike any other professional group I’ve encountered.
When I selected this year’s theme, Clerk to Become the Greatest You, I couldn’t have known just how much it would resonate with me over the months. Through my travels and conversations with clerks across Region IX, I’ve been not only exploring the depth of my own potential, but also recognizing how much each of you contributes to my journey in realizing that potential. When we help and support one another, everyone wins. One person’s strength can fill a gap where another may be struggling. This culture of sharing, supporting, and collaborating broadens our perspectives and ultimately makes us better servants to our communities.
I’m truly honored to serve as the AAMC president, and I feel fortunate to work alongside such dedicated professionals across Region IX.
AAMC EXECUTIVE BOARD UPDATE

3. Annual Conference Date Change Request – We approved a resolution requesting that the Alaska Municipal League (AML), with whom we partner for the annual conference, move the event to November or January to avoid the busy holiday season. Unfortunately, the dates will remain unchanged in the foreseeable future.
4. Scholarships for Northwest Clerks Institute (NCI) – Five scholarships were approved for Alaska clerks to attend the 2025 NCI.
5. Election-Ready Roundtable – We’re planning a virtual roundtable in June, in advance of the candidate filing period for most Alaska municipalities, to provide helpful tips and tools for election preparation.

I wish you all a joyful and fulfilling summer!
Warm regards,
D. Danyielle Snider, MMC | AAMC President
Greetings from Washington!
HEIDI NAPOLITINO | WMCA PRESIDENT
My name is Heidi Napolitino, and I am the current president of the Washington Municipal Clerks Association (WMCA). My presidential theme is Wisdom Begins in Wonder, which best reflects my hope for our members this year – that we take time to be curious, ask questions without judgement, and take time to enjoy small moments of beauty and joy.
WMCA has 325 members across Washington from cities, towns, counties, and special purpose districts such as fire, port, and library districts. In March, we hosted our 2025 annual conference in Blaine, WA. Our members and honored guests enjoyed the education sessions, the opportunities to connect and network, and the time we spent together. Former President Elizabeth Adkisson’s theme was SuperClerks – Leading for a Legacy. Our members really lived the theme this past year, which was evident during our annual member recognition process.
One of WMCA’s projects in 2024 was to update our award structure to make it more inclusive for all members, regardless of how long they have been in the clerk world and to remove barriers during the nomination process. It definitely worked! We received twice as many nominations as we did the previous year and were able to give out four awards to very deserving members. Our new awards include
• Lifetime Achievement Award for clerks who have been in the profession for at least 10 years. The intent is to recognize the contributions of a member during their full career. This year’s inaugural award was given to Treva Zumek from the City of Buckley, who has served on numerous committees, was WMCA president in 2012, and is again serving on the Executive Committee.
• Two awards for a specific achievement, innovation, or impact during the previous year.
º Outstanding Clerk of the Year is for a member with at least 5 years of experience. Stephanie Haug, City of West Richland, was given this prestigious award for providing exceptional service to her entity this year.
º Trailblazer is for a member with 1-4 years of experience. Luke Lonie, City of Lynnwood, was honored for their work improving the efficiency and governance of their entity this last year.
Pictured, left to right: Stephanie Haug, Luke Lonie, 2024-2025 WMCA President Elizabeth Adkisson, Treva Zumek, and Cassidy Mueller.
• And finally, my favorite – a brand-new type of award for us – the WMCA Inspiration award can given to up to three members who had a significant impact on WMCA or on individual members in the last year. Cassidy Mueller, City of Issaquah, earned this award for their dedication to the clerk community.
ton during the parade of flags at the opening ceremony to listening to speakers and presenters to talking to colleagues from around the world. As with any conference, there were quiet moments of reflection and times of celebration filled with joy.
The Q.4 Executive Committee (EC) meeting was held virtually in April. In addition to standard items that are completed at every meeting (minutes approval, review of committee & treasurer reports, various housekeeping items), we tackled a few larger items. These included updating the 2025-2026 EC work plan, confirming the 2026 WMCA conference venue, and beginning to plan for the 2028 IIMC conference, which will be held in Bellevue, WA.
In May, I attended the IIMC conference in St. Louis, MO! There were so many inspiring moments during the IIMC conference – from representing Washing-
At the Region IX meeting on Monday afternoon, members from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California heard updates from the four state presidents and Region IX Directors Marc Donohue, Jamie Newman, and Shawn Campbell. It was Jamie’s last meeting, as she was finishing her threeyear term. Thank you, Jamie, for your advocacy on behalf of Region IX over the last three years! The four states rotate Director positions, and WMCA member Shawn Campbell from the City of Auburn will be filling that role for the next term. We are grateful for her willingness to serve and excited to see the good work that she and Marc will continue in the coming years. That evening, Region IX members enjoyed time to socialize and network at the Cardinals baseball game before dashing back to the hotel ahead of the rain.
During the conference, Region IX’s own Dawn Abrahamson, City Clerk for Vallejo, California, was sworn in as IIMC President. Dawn is a champion of education and believes that inclusion is the way forward for IIMC – I can’t wait to see the good things that will happen during her time as president.
In June, we held our summer Executive Committee quarterly meeting and work session in Cle Elum. Among other items, we reviewed updated committee descriptions and discussed our
Region IX Presidents Dani Snyder (Alaska), Kayla Duddy (Oregon), Ashton Arocho (California), and Heidi Napolitino (Washington) presenting our state flags
recently concluded member survey, which we will use to guide a review of our mission, vision, and values.
Other WMCA events in the upcoming year include a new fundraising opportunity – one of our members is an Athenian facilitator and has graciously offered to host an Athenian at no cost to the association with all the proceeds going to our scholarship fund.
In October, we will host our Fall Education Days, which consists of a one-day Athenian and a one-day academy session with a member event on the evening in between.
Looking ahead, the 2026 WMCA Annual Conference will be held March 17-20 at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick, WA – we’re so excited to visit Kennewick and this lovely conference venue. Our annual conference has been in the Tri-Cities region many times, but the last time we were in Kennewick was in 1996.
I hope you are able to enjoy moments of wonder, joy, and curiosity in the year to come.
President Dawn Abrahamson being sworn in.

Happy Summer from the State of Oregon!
KAYLA M. DUDDY | OAMR PRESIDENT
As I write this, the days are getting longer, and the sun is gracing us with its presence more and more – a sure sign that summer has officially arrived in the beautiful State of Oregon! I hope this message finds each of you well, recharging, and perhaps enjoying some muchneeded time off with family and friends. It is so important to step away and refresh ourselves, especially after what I know has been a busy year for all of us.
This newsletter message is bittersweet for me, as it will be my last message as OAMR’s President. It has been honor and a privilege to serve OAMR, and I am incredibly proud of what our organization has accomplished together this year. I have especially enjoyed traveling to each of Region IX’s State Conferences and getting to meet so many new people.
I have some exciting news from the Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders (OAMR) to share with you all. I am pleased to announce that our membership official approved the new and improved Conference Location Rotation. This is an exciting development that has been over 10 years in the making, and it will help us plan for future conferences and ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all. Our Executive Board will be having our summer Board Meeting, July 14, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., where we will be tying up some loose ends before we head to the Annual Conference in September.
I had the privilege of representing Oregon and OAMR at the International Institute of Municipal Clerks 2025 Annual Conference in St. Louis, Missouri from May 18th - 22nd. It was an incredibly valuable experience, filled with insightful sessions, networking opportunities with colleagues from across the globe, and a
chance to bring back fresh ideas and best practices to benefit our association. Prior to that, I also had the opportunity to attend the California Municipal Clerks Association Conference from March 29th – May 2nd. Both conferences provided fantastic learning and networking opportunities, and I am excited to share some takeaways with our membership.
Speaking of conferences, mark your calendars! Registration for the OAMR Annual Academy and Conference is now officially open on the OAMR website.
We’re thrilled to invite you to join us from September 23rd to 26th, in Eugene, Oregon, for what promises to be to be an extraordinary event. Our theme this year is “Defying Gravity.” For us as City Recorders, “Defying Gravity” resonates deeply with what we all do every single day. It speaks
to our ability to rise above challenges, to innovate in the face of complex regulations, and to keep our communities grounded even as we navigate ever evolving demands. Head over to the OAMR’s website today to secure your spot. We have a fantastic program planned, fun activities, and I truly believe this year’s conference will be an invaluable opportunity for professional development, networking, and connecting with your fellow recorders across Oregon.
It has truly been a pleasure to serve alongside such a dedicated and talented group of professionals.
I am excited for our incoming OAMR President, Scott Stauffer, to take the reins. I know he will do a great job leading OAMR forward. I hope you all enjoy your summer, stay safe, and take care!
Warmly,
Kayla M. Duddy | OAMR President
Hello from California!
ASHTON R. AROCHO, MMC, CMCA PRESIDENT
It’s finally summer, Region IX! For those of you who had promotion and graduation celebrations, congratulations on these milestones within your families! Now to move on from the busyness of the end of the school year and for most of us parents, the start of counting down the days until the next school year! I can’t believe summer is already here and in just a few short months, we’ll all be pulling out our Hal loween costumes and holiday decorations!
For those of you who don’t know me, hi, my name is Ashton Arocho and I’m the City Clerk for the City of Westminster, California. We are primarily known as a diverse city with a large Vietnamese American population and for our Little Saigon District (the oldest and largest district within the United States), making our city a major center for Vietnamese culture in the US. In addition to my day job, I was also newly sworn in as President of the recently renamed and rebranded association – California Municipal Clerks Association (“CMCA”). Being sworn in by my colleague and best friend, Region IX Director Marc Donohue, along with having my husband, family and closest friends and colleagues in the audience was a moment of extreme gratitude for me. I’m officially in my President era.
inclusive of our members, which vary between cities, special districts, counties and other local government agencies.
As we continue to transition to our new roots, there is also an emphasis this year surrounded by one word - empoWEr. There is an intentional emphasis on the ‘WE’ because the heart of CMCA is the membership: a dedicated, diverse group of professionals united by a shared commitment for public service and professional excellence. In any organization, the true strength lies in its people and this year I’m excited to showcase the membership.
2025 was kicked off with some major changes in California. First and foremost, effective April 1, 2025, we officially renamed and rebranded our association with an overwhelming approval from the membership. This change reflects a broader effort to be more
During the month of May, I had the honor and privilege to represent California at the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (“IIMC”) Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO. From participating in the parade of flags during opening ceremonies, engaging network-
ing opportunities with attendees across the globe, to learning key leadership skills during the sessions, this conference will be one that I will never forget. Also, I want to send my thoughts to those who were affected by the tornado during our time in St. Louis. Something that was truly eye opening and inspiring was seeing the overwhelming power of their community and the compassion between neighbors.
In the coming months, the Board of Directors will be meeting for our annual two-day Goal Setting workshop to discuss and consider the upcoming three-year Strategic Plan, outlining goals and objectives, along with empowering each Board Director to fulfill their elected roles. This is also a time for us to review current policies and best practices, ensuring that our membership remains at the forefront of all of our decisions. California will also begin the starting plans for our 2026 Annual Conference, kicking off our conference committee and request for proposals.
I’d like to formally invite each of you to Be Our Guest at our upcoming 2026 Annual Conference held April 29 – May 1, 2026, at the iconic Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Join us for a week filled with inspiring sessions, magical networking opportunities, and a powerful lineup of experiences designed to leave you feeling empowered and equipped with tools for success.
I’m excited to kick off my tour of Region IX by attending OAMR this September, and I can’t wait to meet each of you. Thank you for welcoming me into your states and for sharing your stories. I look forward to the year ahead and all the memories we’ll create together. Until then.

Clerks Return Recharged: 2025 Northwest Clerks Institute Wraps Up with Purpose and Momentum
JUNE 1–20, 2025 | UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND, TACOMA, WA
The 2025 Northwest Clerks Institute has officially concluded, and this year’s participants are heading back to their offices with more than just a certificate—they’re bringing renewed energy, fresh ideas, and practical strategies to meet the evolving demands of local government.
Over three intensive weeks, Clerks from across the region engaged in focused learning on public administration, legal compliance, interpersonal communication, leadership, and other courses that are foundational to the work of the Clerk. Through dynamic classroom discussions, small-group interactions, and peer mentoring, attendees gained tools to streamline processes, manage increasing workloads, and better
serve both their communities and their colleagues. This year, Nine Peak Solutions and General Code offered scholarships to attendees at NCI-PD. Recipients were chosen via a random draw at the Welcome Reception (Nine Peaks Solutions) and the Banquet (General Code). The recipients are:
PD I
• Nine Peaks Solutions: Amy Conger, City Clerk-Treasurer of Moxee, Washington
• General Code: Lindsey Betts, Clerk-Treasurer Assistant of Warden, Washington
PD II
• Nine Peaks Solutions: Rachel Thomas, City Recorder of Newberg, Oregon
• General Code: Aubrianna Howell, Administrative Assistant of Port Angeles, Washington
PD III
• Nine Peaks Solutions: Morgan Stoltzner, Deputy Clerk of the Board of Snohomish Public Utilities District No. 1
The recipients expressed heartfelt gratitude upon receiving scholarships to cover their registration expenses.
People had a lot of good things to say about the 2025 Institute—one person said, “the energy was contagious,” and another mentioned, “it’s not often you find a place where you can learn new things and feel so supported at the same time.”
As planning gets underway for the June 2026 Institute, organizers are already gathering insights from this year’s sessions to build an even more impactful experience—one that continues to empower Clerks at every stage of their careers.
Stay tuned for early registration announcements and mark your calendar: next summer’s Institute promises another opportunity to invest in your growth, your team, and the community you serve.

MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK !
MARC A. DONOHUE, MMC IIMC REGION IX DIRECTOR
Thank you all for celebrating the 56th Annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week! Initiated in 1969, by IIMC and endorsed by all its members throughout the United States, Canada and 15 other countries, the week is a time of celebration and reflection on the importance of the Clerk’s office. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation that officially declared Municipal Clerks Week the first full week of May. In 1994 and 1996, President Bill Clinton also signed proclamations confirming Municipal Clerks Week.
As you already know, Municipal Clerks are often the unsung heroes of public service. From maintaining official records, managing elections, managing City Council meetings, supporting our communities with essential services, and much more. It’s my hope that you all felt gratitude from your peers and colleagues during Municipal Clerks Week.
It was wonderful to see all the fun and creative ways everyone celebrated this important week for our profession. I hope you enjoy this collage of photos we received from other agencies on how they celebrated Municipal Clerks Week this year! Can’t wait to see where Quill the hedgehog will stop at next!
Let’s continue to celebrate each other and keep moving our profession forward!
