The Accredited Ontario Municipal Clerk (AOMC) certifies a clerk on their education, experience and professional contributions. This professional designation establishes a professional standard that ensures the clerk's profession remains relevant and attractive through a commitment to continuous learning and development. The municipal clerk is one of two statutory roles required for each Ontario municipality.
The AOMC designation establishes a high standard by promoting the unique value, elements and professional requirements for municipal clerks in Ontario. These duties require strong leadership, organizational, political and legislative knowledge in order to effectively manage services, policy processes and various matters of legislative compliance with elected officials.
