Please take some time to explore the features of the website. Click on the “Programs” button for a list of educational programs offered. “Legislative Update” lists laws affecting Municipal Clerks, as well as legal opinions published in The Quill, the MCANJ’s quarterly newsletter.

A new button, “County Association News” has been created. We urge County Presidents to contact us to post their program opportunities. The “Legal Defense Fund (LDF)” has information about the Fund as well as the application to join or renew membership in the Fund. The Quill is found on the MCANJ website, and job opportunities for Municipal Clerks or Deputies are listed free of charge for 30 days.

The Advisory Board representatives for each County, meeting dates, and approved Advisory Board minutes can also be found on the website.

The MCANJ’s website will continue to post new items and offerings under “What’s New” on the home page.

I want to thank the website committee:

Bette Mastropasqua  (boroclerk@aol.com), Chair; Vincent Buttilgieri (vbuttiglieri@southplainfieldnj.com), Executive Board liaison; and members Sharon Brienza, Daina Dale, Nancy Hatten, Elesha Johnson, and Ian Shore for all the work that they do to update and improve it. If you have any suggestions to further improve MCANJ’s website or articles to submit for posting, please contact me, Bette Mastropasqua, or Vince Buttiglieri.
