Orion Township clerk Jill Bastian was recently accepted as a member of the Master Municipal Clerk Academy.
Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson presented Bastian with a certificate and membership pin at the Nov. 7 board of trustees meeting. Johnson said only six percent of clerks in the state belong to the academy.
In 2000, Bastian was designated as a Certified Municipal Clerk, following the completion of a three-year program.
The Master Municipal Clerk Academy was created for clerks with CMC status to continue their learning and involvement in the profession.
