[MCANJ Members] MCANJ 2024 Conference Update!

Hello Everyone- The MCANJ Conference Committee is sending out this email as a reminder. If you are interested in attending Camp MCANJ-the annual conference for the Municipal Clerks’ Association being held from April 23-26, 2024 in Atlantic City, you need to register soon! Attached you will find the program for the conference, a flyer from Rutgers for attendees looking to earn additional CMC/MMC credits, and PO information from the Hard Rock. The conference will provide over 20+ CEU’s for RMC and CEU’s have been applied for other licenses as well for those who hold multiple licenses. If you are a Registrar- The Office of Vital Statistics has been super supportive of the Municipal Clerks’ Association conference this year and has approved four sessions for us earning a Municipal Clerk/Registrar 5 credits, yes 5 CMR credits this year, which is amazing!!! If you are tracking credits to put towards earning your CMC or MMC- you will earn over 7 CMC/MMC credits at this conference by attending the full conference and the attached Rutgers Program. Important things to know: 1. You cannot register for the conference if you have not paid for your MCANJ membership-meaning if you want to get the MCANJ member rate, we need your payment prior to you registering. If you forgot to register or there is a delay with a check getting mailed to us, it may be advantageous for you to update your membership for 2023/2024 by credit card if you want to take advantage of the early bird discount rate. Otherwise you can register as a non-member for the conference registration. 2. If paying by check for your hotel stay, the Hard Rock needs your check by March 22nd- see the attached instructions. 3. Do Not Forget- There is a huge State/County/Municipal OEM Conference at the Hard Rock the same week as ours; so do not wait to book a room last minute. The Hard Rock is urging both conferences to have attendees book rooms as early as possible to secure one. 4. Below is the breakdown of rates/days of conference being offered.
