"I should of known." Have you seen (or committed) this common error? In speech, it sounds like we're saying "should of," but in fact, what we mean is "should have," or as a contraction, "should've." Copyblogger is again the source for this solution to problem spelling.

IS YOUR CITY/TOWN IN THE RIGHT COUNTY?

Forbes.com is famous for their lists of the best places to find work, be single, buy a foreclosure, etc. One important bragging right for a municipality is ending up on their "Best Places to Raise a Family" list. The list is done by county, giving more cities and towns a boost in attractiveness to young families. Did your county make the cut? Find out here.

IIMC Report

It was great to see old friends and new faces at the IIMC meeting in Reno. As you may know, the IIMC amended its constitution at the meeting, updating its mission statement along with other changes (click here to read about it). Congratulations and best of luck to Sharon K. Cassler, the new President.

Thank you to the Nevada delegation for doing a remarkable hosting job for the event. The National Auto Museum was a blast and the hotel was great!

It looks like IIMC is already gearing up for their 2011 conference in Nashville. We're looking forward to it, too!

ClerkBase® creates a LinkedIn® group for clerks

The folks at ClerkBase are (not surprisingly) pretty net-savvy. We all have LinkedIn accounts, and find them useful for networking in the industry. As a courtesy to municipal clerks, we've created the Municipal Clerks Group on LinkedIn. Any clerk with a LinkedIn account can join, and participate in conversation, ask advice, discuss best practices -- whatever is important to you. It's your group. Don't have a LinkedIn account? Getting one takes just a minute. We hope you'll find the group useful and informative!

ClerkBase® Features

What you need, where and when you need it.

ClerkBase® customizes your services based on the needs of your agency, your constituents and you. How many calls do you answer each week asking whether a specific item will be addressed at an upcoming meeting? Or where to find a specific law or ordinance? How about requesting archival information?

Whether you need to put your agendas and minutes online, livestream meetings, post codes and ordinances, or host archival documents, whether your needs are for one council or multiple committees and subcommittees, ClerkBase® will custom design a solution for your needs.

There is no charge for creating a solution to fit your specific needs, no "packages" that aren't quite what you're looking for. We're all about the best solution for your needs.

You know what you want. We can provide it. Call us at 1-866-676-9486, or email jay@clerkbase.com and we'll create your solution.
