During this month's Board of Commissioners Meeting, District Clerk Jackelin Machado was honored with the prestigious Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) designation. The MMC program, offered by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC), recognizes the dedication to lifelong learning and professional excellence among municipal clerks worldwide.
Machado is one of only 165 municipal clerks in the state of Florida who have earned their Master Municipal Clerk certification.
Florida Association of City Clerks Southeast District Director and the Clerk of the Town of Gulf Stream Reneé Basel presented Machado with a award on Thursday, May 16, 2024 during the Commissioners Meeting. The attainment of the MMC designation is particularly notable, as only 10% of the 14,934 members of the IIMC have reached this milestone.
The MMC program, designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of municipal clerks, emphasizes both education and professional contributions. Candidates must demonstrate active engagement in educational pursuits and professional activities. Machado's achievement highlights her commitment to advancing her expertise in municipal duties.
