Basic Training for Small City Clerk/Treasurers

Co-sponsored by WA State Auditor’s Office, Municipal Research & Services Center and
Washington Municipal Clerks Association

This workshop serves as a great starting point for new small city clerk/treasurers and those who
know the basics but might want to brush-up. Come hear the latest information from seasoned
professionals on public records, open meetings, conflicts of interest and ways your city can reduce
its liability exposure. You’ll also hear how to stay compliant with budgeting, financial reporting,
internal controls, and much more.

This workshop is for small city municipal clerks and clerk/treasurers with less than three years
experience, clerk/treasurers who have never had the opportunity to attend basic training, or
those clerks who would like to refresh their skills.
