*Dear Members, * *My apologies for the last email sent with the Subject line as a "testing final draft". It was not Fake April News. It was just a matter of not changing the Subject line before hitting the Send button. Sorry if this caused any confusion. Didn't get a chance to hit the "undo" button. Stay safe!* MCANJ IT Committee websiteadmin(a)njclerks.org *MCANJ APRIL NEWS* [image: image.png][image: image.png][image: image.png] Dear Members, I hope that this month’s news finds you and yours safe and in good health. The hyacinth pictured above is one of nature’s true spring beauties that I surprisingly found in my front yard this week. Let’s enjoy the little things when they present themselves. March came in like a lion and continues to roar at us from all points of our world. This has become a most unsettling time for everyone. First concern is family, then employment and thirdly MCANJ. I completely understand were priorities are at this time. With the current COVID-19 situation I know you are inundated with email, so I am not going to reiterate what information has already come to your office or home desk. Instead I want to share some *good news *with you all. *#1. *With the unfortunate cancellation of our Annual Education Conference, several members contacted me regarding their need for specific CEUs within short dated time periods. First, let me remind you of information shared 23 March through your County Advisory Board members; “The Division will waive the late fee for anyone due to renew on April 30, who needs to utilize the 6-month grace period to renew their certification. You can share that information with your membership. Once we are able to evaluate the full impact of the closures and cancellations on our licensees, we hope to issue some more comprehensive guidance.” Shannon Hudak *#2.* *We shall be conducting MCANJ 2020 Webinar Conference!* Please see the following information and click on the links to register. I have applied to DCA and IIMC for credit approval and await their responses (as of this writing, 27 March at 10:15 am). Please join us for some interesting sessions and activities to electronically network while maintaining our 6 (six) feet of social distancing.

[Mcanj-members] MCANJ Annual Education Conference

by mcanj-members＠lists.cit-e.net

Dear Fellow MCANJ Members: On behalf of myself and the entire MCANJ Executive Board, we send you our best wishes for your continued safety and well-being. Our paramount concern is for the safety of our MCANJ membership, as well as our immediate and extended family members and others with whom we associate. We are all in this together! As a result of guidance from the CDC to cancel large meetings for the next 8 weeks, and other health and travel concerns and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the MCANJ Executive Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Annual Education Conference scheduled for April 27 to April 30 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. We appreciate your patience as we have been carefully monitoring this dynamic situation. We will miss spending time with you in AC, but the health and safety of our members is our primary concern. Also, we appreciate the significant contributions that have been made by our Advisory Committee and Education Conference Committee leaders and Executive Director in preparation for this year's meeting. The next MCANJ Education Conference shall be held the week of 15 March 2021 at the Hard Rock, Atlantic City, NJ. Rest assured, we are evaluating options and working to potentially implement remote learning or otherwise defer accreditation obligations. All Annual Education Conference registration monies received to date will be refunded. Please be patient as each payment is entered into the system for individual refund. Those 15 scholarship recipient names that were drawn at the conclusion of the 2019 conference will be eligible to receive a 2021 conference registration scholarship. Coordination for an election process of the FY 2021 MCANJ Secretary position is being reviewed and we will continue to update you as that develops. We are working with our legal counsel to ensure all matters are addressed in compliance with laws and contract requirements. In that regard, we are also exploring a remote ceremony for the FY2021 Executive Board members to take their oaths of office. I am immensely grateful for and proud of how our Executive Board has come together at this time, and the exceptional work and dedication of our Executive Director, Joel Popkin. We are a “TEAM” that cares and we ask that you extend courtesy and respect to your fellow Municipal Clerks and your communities by being vigilant about your own health and practicing heightened cleanliness behavior. Thank you for your consideration and for your involvement in MCANJ. At the 2019 MCANJ Education Conference, I promised you a conference like no other and I am a person of my word. This is a Conference like no other - in the history of MCANJ, we have never had to cancel an Annual Education Conference. I am so, so very sorry to not be sharing this special time with you. Please stay healthy and MCANJ strong! Diane M Pflugfelder, RMC/MMC

[Mcanj-members] Dealing with Covid-19

by mcanj-members＠lists.cit-e.net

Dear MCANJ members – This is a troubling time for all of us, but we also need to take a moment and look back at all we have accomplished in the past week and how far we have come in such an unexpected situation. Those of you that were able to attend the 2019 MCANJ Annual Education Conference were fortunate to attend the General Session led by Matt Booth. Please read his words of encouragement and share these words with the person next to you who has done so much for so many in such a short period of time in an attempt to survive the COVID-19 environment. Thank you “You've probably received a bunch of emails from companies letting you know how they're dealing with Covid-19. I doubt you care how I am cleaning my office, my remote working plans or where I’ve placed the hand sanitizer. What I know you care about right now, is you. So how am I responding to Covid-19? Letting you know that I appreciate you and I am thinking of you. And I want you to know that you, your family, and all of those directly impacted by the virus are in my prayers. I look forward to a near-future where we work together on navigating negativity and improving attitudes. When the time is right, let’s connect. I've attached a 4-minute video on Encouragement. We could all use a bit of encouragement today. Feel free to share if it is a good fit. Thank you for your business and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Warmest regards, and be safe.
