City Clerks New Law and Elections Seminar registration open

By Cal Cities Education Staff

From overseeing public records to election administration, city clerks form and protect the bedrock of the democratic process. But what was once a routine, unassuming job has become anything but for many city clerks.

The City Clerks New Law and Elections Seminar - Dec. 11-13 in Napa - equips city clerks with the tools needed to respond to emerging challenges and conduct routine business. The seminar provides numerous opportunities to learn from other colleagues and policy experts, as well as form invaluable support networks.

This year's seminar will cover a range of topics, including preparing requests for proposals, council member onboarding, new election laws, and CPRA compliance. The seminar will also include a fireside chat with California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D. More information is available in the "schedule at a glance" section of the seminar webpage.

Registration and hotel information

Registration for the full seminar starts at $550 for city officials from any Cal Cities member city. Seminar registration includes admission to all educational sessions, the Wednesday evening reception, Thursday breakfast and lunch, Friday breakfast, and access to all program materials.

The deadline to register is Dec. 4. Afterward, officials must register on-site if space is available.

This year, the City Clerks New Law and Elections Seminar will be at the Meritage in Napa. A limited number of hotel rooms are available at a reduced rate for seminar attendees. The deadline to reserve a discounted hotel room is Nov. 14, 2024. Discounted rooms often sell out before the deadline, so register early!
