The recorders' work demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. It is truely a specialized field which places her in a special niche in society and thus a part of a somewhat privileged and intellectual group. She is consulted daily by both citizens and fellow government officials -- serving them both, and even often working as a "buffer" between them. The degree of dedication she gives in her position will not only reflect on the day-to-day professional management of her own office, but it will also serve to promote local government in general and the vitally important role within which Recorders have historically functioned. Joann's personal goals include: developing professionalism through education, attending programs and activities that will assist in the welfare and positive progression of municipal government, and to foster closer relationships between recorders in the State of Oregon and promote the interchange of information between them.
