Lisa earned her Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) designation in 2014, and she has been working on obtaining her MMC designation since then.

  • 40 Professional Contributions Points, which was earned by the following:
    • Serving as a Chair on Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders (OAMR) committees
    • Participating on OAMR committees

Pledge to:

  • To uphold constitutional government and the laws of my community;
  • To so conduct my public and private life as to be an example to my fellow citizens;
  • To impart to my profession those standards of quality and integrity that the conduct of the affairs of my office shall be above reproach and merit public confidence in our community;
  • To be ever mindful of my neutrality and impartiality, rendering equal service to all and to extend the same treatment I wish to receive myself;
  • To record that which is true and preserve that which is entrusted to me as if it were my own; and
