Best Practices

This is an opportunity for NACRC members to receive special recognition in honor of their unique achievements and Best Practices in their respective fields.  NACRC presents Best Practices Awards in the following areas: Court Administration/Clerk to Board/Vitals & Passports, Election Administration, Land Records and Records Management.

Be sure to follow the following guidelines when submitting your Best Practices submission:

  • Each Best Practice must be a reflection of a current level of service or program performed by your office
  • All submissions may consist of no more than five pages, including any supplemental materials
  • Each office is limited to one submission

One of the best ways to move our professional standards forward is by developing information and practices that we can all share and implement in our jurisdictions. Awards are presented at the Annual Conference each year.
