nebraska municipal clerks newsletters

The newsletter often contains late breaking information about activities and events during the upcoming Clerk Institute and Academy. These are posted on the League of Nebraska Municipalities website at www.lonm.org.

Among other features, the newsletter includes the Municipal Legal Calendar.

March 2011 - The League of Nebraska Municipalities recently overhauled its database and is in the process of redesigning their website.  As a result, we no longer have access to the previous list of Clerks Newsletter recipients.  If anyone knows of other Clerks who would like to receive the Clerks Newsletter, please send us their email address or have them sign up on the League website. For questions please contact Matt, mattm@lonm.org, 402-476-2829.

Nebraska Clerks’ Yahoo Group

To join, a clerk has to be invited by an existing yahoo clerk. To invite a new member, email Nancy Evans at nevans@nebnet.net or nebraskaclerks-owner@yahoogroups.com with the name, municipality and email of the clerk to be invited. Nancy will then issue an invitation by email.

This is a closed yahoo group strictly for Nebraska clerks, deputy clerks and treasurers. Several years ago, we made that determination so the clerks, deputy clerks and treasurers would have a safe place to discuss things and even vent if they need to and not have to worry about it getting back to the boards and councils.
