170+ CCMFOA members participate in professional development
More than 170 city clerks from across Kansas gather in Wichita to attend the Institute and Master Academy to participate in sessions regarding budgeting, communicating trust, community partnerships and resiliency. To earn their professional credentials, city clerks must complete a minimum of 120 hours of continuing education. The PPMC is proud to support the work of city clerks across the state, and commends them for their dedication to public service.
Previously, the PPMC provided unlimited training records access. Due to changing software, we are unable to continue this service model. As per discussion with IIMC regarding retention requirements, we will be moving to the model below and keeping records for 10 years.
In January 2019, the following guidelines took effect:
Upon request, the Institute Director will provide records on attendance and participation to the entity funding a participant's attendance.
The Public Policy and Management Center (PPMC) at Wichita State University enhances public service to best serve your community.
Our three service pillars help people-focused communities and organizations make data-driven decisions:
