The CMC designation program has been in existence for 40 years, started in 1970 by the Florida Association of City Clerks (FACC) along with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) as a means to assist municipal clerks increase their proficiency in areas related to their work, and their professional and personal growth.

The program prepares the participants to meet the challenges of the complex role of the Municipal Clerks by providing them with quality education in partnership with 47 institutions of higher learning.
