Message From the President, Kimberley A. Rau
To begin, I want to thank
you for selecting me
Clerk of the Year for
2009. This is truly an
honor for which I am
very grateful.
I attended my second-to-the-last Board of Directors
Meeting on Saturday,
April 25, 2009, at
the Robertson Park
Youth Center in
Gaithersburg. During
the meeting, the Board
approved modifications
to the Adopted 2009
MML Budget.
The MML Legislative
Committee met for its
final meeting on
Wednesday, May 6,
2009, to review the 2009
Legislative Session.
Legislative requests for
the 2010 legislative session
may now be submitted
to MML for consideration.
The deadline for
submission is June 26,
2009.
The 63rd Annual IIMC
Conference is scheduled
for May 18 – 23, 2009,
in Chicago, Illinois.
This will be my second
IIMC Conference, and I
am so looking forward to
attending. There will be
a few new faces in the
Maryland contingent this
year – Doug Barber and
Jessie Carpenter. I hope
Doug and Jessie enjoy
the conference as much
as I enjoyed my first.
It is time for the Annual
MML Convention in
Ocean City. I hope to
see many of you at our
meeting on Monday,
June 29. During this
meeting, the officers for
2009-2010 will be swornin.
If you are interested in
serving on a committee,
please let President-elect
Doug Barber know. Remember,
attending the
MML Conventions/
Conferences and serving
on a committee earns you
points towards your CMC/
MMC!
In conclusion, thank you
all for the opportunity to
serve as president of this
wonderful association.
Kimberley A. Rau, CMC, President
