MCANJ offers meaningful and affordable educational opportunities to its members through an Annual Education Conference and members can earn continuing education credits towards their RMC certification renewal at these sessions along with other licenses they may hold for their Municipality. MCANJ also keeps on top of changes in Trenton and disseminates this information to its membership through its continued communications. Municipal Clerks, the oldest of local government officials, offers camaraderie like no other; with members offering assistance when needed especially to non-seasoned Municipal Clerks or Municipal Clerks who may not have faced a particular situation before. Municipal Clerks will undoubtedly develop new and long-lasting friendships when they join MCANJ. MCANJ offers the following classes of membership: 1.
