COLUMBUS — Mary Jo Hawkins, Knox County Clerk of Courts, and Chief Deputy Clerk of Courts Christy Staton were recently presented with commendations from the Ohio Clerk of Courts Association at the association’s annual conference, held in Columbus.
Clerk Hawkins and Chief Deputy Staton received the recognition for attending and participating in the education seminars and monthly educational opportunities offered by the Association throughout 2018.
Certificates of commendations were presented by the Honorable Justice Pat Dewine, of the Ohio Supreme Court.
The OCCA offered seminars on a wide variety of clerk of courts-related topics including Dispute Resolution, ADA Compliance for Websites, Ohio Ethics Laws, Public Records Training by State Auditor’s office, Sovereign Citizens by the FBI and State Highway Patrol, and automobile titling issues presented by the State of Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
“The monthly education seminars held by the OCCA are an important resource for keeping on top of the constantly changing laws and procedures our staff and I need to know in both our legal and auto title offices. The clerk of courts focus is to offer the best service possible to the residents of Knox County, and these classes are an essential part of helping all staff to do that,” Hawkins said.
The OCCA began in 1940 as a forum for Ohio clerks from all 88 counties to exchange ideas and compare programs, and to exercise influence in legislation that affects the office.
