One of Aristotle's many quotes; "The more you know, the more you know you don't know."

That’s why we all need to attend our training sessions. We can never know it all, especially in these times of changing policies. The world seems smaller and Kentucky is no different. What goes on in your county is happing somewhere else. Attending your conference is a great way to keep up with the rest -- gathering information and sharing information. You are part of the conversation.


KCJEA/KMCA Joint Summer Convention will be held July 17-20, 2013 at the Galt House in Louisville. On-line registration available to the left under "CONFERENCES". For EXPRESS registration call the KMCA office at 1-800-264-5622.  For hotel reservations call 502-589-5200.

What's going on across the Commonwealth? Check out the "News in Kentucky" section. http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/usstate/uskentuc.htm
 

As always, call or email if you have questions or ideas. We need your input.

KMCA's revised position on Constables:
KMCA has reviewed its position on constables.  Constables are fee officers - if they are collecting fees for any services, that money should be turned over to the county. If they currently do not have a salary established, it must be established by the first Monday in May of the year of election, which has already passed for this term. This association does not encourage counties to compensate constables. Most counties don't.


Please help us. Tell your legislators all legislation:

  • Must not be an unfunded mandate
  • Must not limit home rule
  • Must be positive for County Governments

    This is KMCA's Legislative Test.
