City Clerks New Law and Elections Seminar registration open; conference now held in November

By Cal Cities Education Staff

Registration is now open for the City Clerks New Law and Elections Seminar. By popular demand, the seminar has been moved to Nov. 12-14 in Los Angeles to better accommodate city clerks’ demanding schedules.

The seminar equips city clerks with the tools needed to respond to emerging challenges and conduct routine business. City clerks will have numerous opportunities to learn from other colleagues and policy experts, as well as form invaluable support networks.

Attendees can explore a range of topics, including election security, legal publication requirements, prohibited campaign activity, the California Public Records Act’s “catch-all” exemption, and administrative records. The seminar will also include the popular new law and elections update and 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.
