The South Carolina Municipal Clerks and Treasurers Institute gained three new graduates in September. MCTI is a three-year program providing municipal clerks and treasurers with skills critical to their profession.
The newest graduates are Margaret Harvey, clerk/treasurer, Town of Swansea; Amanda Salka, town administrator, Town of Summerton; and Noel Steele, water clerk, Town of Ridge Spring.
Graduation from the program requires participants to complete more than 120 hours of classroom instruction on topics such as business license management, accounting and municipal law.
Completion of MCTI satisfies the education requirements for the certifications offered by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks and some of the requirements for the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada certification. Those seeking IIMC’s Certified Municipal Clerk designation also need to complete a capstone project. MCTI is scheduled as six sessions, each taking place over two and a half days. Participants can begin the program at any point and are encouraged to attend sessions consecutively.
