Welcome to the Virginia Municipal Clerks Association

Organized in 1977, the Virginia Municipal Clerks Association (VMCA) is an organization dedicated to promoting the interests of municipal clerks. The governing body of the organization is the Executive Board, which consists of officers of the Association and the Immediate Past President.

The Mission of VMCA is to promote professional development through continuing education and networking opportunities. Our objectives are to promote education and certification of Municipal Clerks, promote better municipal government, increase efficiency of municipal clerk operations, be alert and responsive to federal, state, and local legislation which impacts the clerk's office, and educate the public and colleagues regarding the role of the Municipal Clerk.

Every city, town, or county in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall be eligible for membership. Any appointed Clerk of Council, Clerk, Recorder, Secretary, Deputy or Assistant in Virginia shall be eligible for membership and entitled to vote upon payment of the annual dues.

Although this website is primarily for the use of VMCA members to share information and improve communication, everyone is welcome to learn more about who we are and what we do.
