The Town of Queen Creek has shone a spotlight on the individuals who serve as the linchpins of local government operations during Municipal Clerks Week, recognized from May 4 to Saturday. In a gesture that underscores the importance of these civic workers, the town council, at their May 7 meeting, declared a Proclamation to honor the occasion. This year's spotlight features Town Clerk Maria Gonzalez, who's earned the notable distinction of being named to the 2025 Municipal Clerks Honor Roll.
Gonzalez's recognition comes courtesy of General Code, a company known for its digital solutions helping local governments maintain and leverage vital code content. Their Municipal Clerks Honor Roll pays homage to individuals who exemplify excellence and dedication in their field. "We are so fortunate to have Maria Gonzalez serving as our Town Clerk," expressed Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley in a statement. She highlighted the "exemplary dedication" that Gonzales, along with her Deputy Clerk, Victoria, bring to the community.
Since its inception in 1969 by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC), Municipal Clerks Week has aimed to increase public understanding of the multifaceted job of municipal clerks. These responsibilities range widely, from managing local elections and safeguarding public records to codifying legislative activities and engaging in continuous education to better serve their municipalities.
