We, as Municipal Recorders, are at the center of municipal government and play an important role in city government, as well as in the structure of our communities as a whole. Often, however, we look “outside” ourselves for acknowledgement and recognition. We are asking you to “look within” yourselves and our organization. Look at what you and other Recorders have accomplished this year.
