Dear Clerks,

It’s hard to believe, but our Fall Regional Workshops are just around the corner! I’m excited to connect with you at one of our upcoming sessions—whether you’ll be joining us in the Eastern, Western, or Piedmont region.

Consider this your official invitation to join a day dedicated to professional development, networking with fellow clerks, and a little fun along the way. Plus, you’ll earn valuable credit hours toward your certifications!

Here are the details for each regional event:

Piedmont Regional – September 12, 2025

Hosted by Sarah Pack & Rebecca Saleeby, Rowan County

Western Regional – September 19, 2025

Hosted by Denisa Lauffer, Henderson County

Eastern Regional – September 26, 2025

Hosted by Tammi Faison, Edgecombe County

If you’re unable to attend the workshop in your designated region, feel free to register for any session that fits your schedule. All workshops are open to County Clerks, Deputy Clerks, Municipal Clerks, and COG Clerks.

The Program Committee has put together an engaging and meaningful agenda, and I’m happy to share that the same program will be offered at each location.

Thank you for your continued dedication to your community, to our Association, and to the Clerk profession.

I hope to see you there!
