The database will check the status of your MCANJ membership when you complete the online LDF application and will redirect you to the MCANJ membership application if you have not already registered or submitted payment.
The LDF was established by MCANJ to financially assist Municipal Clerks when actions have been taken against them in the performance of their official duties. With initial membership costing $75.00, and annual renewals costing $25.00, the LDF could prove to be your most valuable insurance coverage if needed.
LDF membership is open to Municipal Clerks, Acting Municipal Clerks, Deputy Municipal Clerks, Freeholder Clerks and Deputy Freeholder Clerks.
