Dear Members and Propective Members,
CHANGE. When I started for the courts, I was told that if I didn’t like change, this probably wouldn’t be the right job for me. Laws change annually, technology improves and grows, and procedures are re-written to keep up with the changing laws. CCA has also been changing since its inception in 1952.
When it started, the association was called AMCCA, for The Association of Municipal Court Clerks of California. Over the years the association adapted to the social and economic changes of the state. When the municipal and superior courts were merged, the association once again adapted to become the California Court Clerks Association and now the California Court Association.
We are now entering a new decade and I foresee more changes. Budgets have been reduced including this organization’s. We now have a more streamline calendar for the 2010/11 year. Technology will be more evident as webinars, telecommunication meetings, scanning documents and paperless (or paper on demand) for our Minute Book. Our website is constantly changing and I hope that you take the opportunity to log onto it every few weeks to view those changes.
CCA is able to change with the times and yet still hold true to its core values. Its objectives are to help with training of court staff, to help staff learn to network with other counties and to help with mentoring or challenging staff to be the best that they can be.
So please join us and welcome the upcoming changes. We would love to see you at our training days or convention. Think about joining a committee or becoming a director for your court. You will find CCA offers wonderful opportunities for professional and personal growth.
Sincerely,
Jan Weaver
President
