The Clerk of the Year Committee will send a Questionnaire to all nominees to be completed and reviewed by the nominating committee who, using the criteria below, will select a maximum of five (5) candidates in each category for placement on the annual Clerk of the Year Ballot.  The ballots are prepared and distributed to MAMC members throughout Michigan.  The following criteria are evaluated for placement on the ballot and should be addressed by the nominating individual:

The 2010 awards will be presented at the MAMC conference to be held in June where hundreds of clerks from around the state are present to honor the Clerk of the Year recipients.
