“I am so very thankful to have been chosen to receive the scholarship from the  IIMC Foundation.  The scholarship allowed me to attend the 2019 Arkansas Municipal Clerks Institute where I gained much knowledge not only from the instructors but from the numerous clerks who attended.  Becoming a CMC would not only be an honor for myself but it would be an asset for my city as well.   Thank you for giving me the tools to accomplish this honor!”

Jenny Narens, City of Texarkana, Arkansas
