Township clerk’s office awarded by state group

The Bloomfield Township Clerk’s Office recently earned the "Excellence in Overall Best Practices” award from the Michigan Municipal Clerk Association.

The clerk’s office was recognized for its Election Communications Plan and Mailer which was utilized during the 2024 General Election cycle.

Per the clerk’s office award application, “The main goal of this communication plan was to empower voters by educating them about recent election changes and refreshing their knowledge on how to vote effectively in both the August and November elections. By providing voters with clear, accessible information, we also aimed to enhance their voting experience, increase their comfort level with the process, and encourage participation in the democratic process.”


The Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks Board of Directors promotes, enhances, and encourages the professional development and standing of municipal clerks through cooperation, communication, education, and training by utilizing seminars, institutes, and meetings; to promote and encourage improvement of methods and procedures of duties performed by clerks; and to address legislative matters relating to the municipal clerk’s responsibilities.

Bloomfield Township Clerk Martin Brook stated, "As the elected township clerk, a goal I have is for every legally registered Bloomfield Township resident to vote in every election. To further this goal, the clerk and cable departments collaborated in 2024 to develop an elections communication plan. This plan provided for uniform messaging across every platform, from mailers to homes to social media and our website."

He added, "I am honored that the clerk's department has been recognized by our peers - the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks - for ‘excellence in overall best practices.’ We strive for excellence in everything we do.”
