In some communities, including most in the United States, the position is elected, but in many others, the clerk is appointed to their post. In the UK, a Town or Parish clerk is appointed by the Town or Parish Council Members. In almost all cases, the actual title of the clerk reflects the type of municipality they work for, thus, instead of simply being known as the ''clerk'', the position is generally referred to as the town clerk, township clerk, city clerk, village clerk, borough clerk, board secretary, or county clerk.

Particularly in the United States, it is difficult to fully descri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
