Throughout the 16+ years of iCompass’ existence we’ve had the pleasure of meeting amazing Clerks from across North America. What we’ve found is that only a small number of clerks, especially those at smaller organizations, have a chance to attend national conferences. While not always the case, shrinking budgets and less free time are making it difficult for clerks to take part on ongoing education initiatives. There’s a tremendous need for an easier way for clerks to connect to better their careers, and better government as a whole.
With that in mind, iCompass is excited to announce the nationwide unveiling of ClerkOn, the new online gathering place for clerks. It’s an easy, fun way for clerks to connect, share knowledge and learn from one another. It’s an active and engaging place ‘just for clerks’ with content and discussions created by members of the community.

Clerks Empowering Clerks on a National Scale
After several small regional launches over the past few months, today over 20,000 clerks have been invited to join. Here’s a sense of what the experience has been like for some of the early members.
“You get a chance not only to learn but to provide your input and help someone else down the road.”
Rodney Green, City Clerk - Evanston, Illinois
“ClerkOn is a fun way to network! It's easy to access, to share ideas and to learn from one another."
Terri Berry, City Clerk - Sumner, Washington
“It's nice to meet other clerks that understand what you're going through!"
Shara Lavallee, Clerk - Township of Gillies, Ontario
Inside ClerkOn, forums and challenges encourage clerks to share knowledge, procedures and strategies while earning points to redeem for fun and professional rewards. And yes, Keep Calm and Clerk On shirts and other fun items are available in the community!
