Recently, the Clerks of the District Courts gathered for their Summer Conference in Ogallala. Approximately 54 attendees participated in this 1 ½ day event. Members of the Administrative Office of the Courts and Judicial Branch Education collaborated and assisted the Clerk of the District Court Association in planning their meeting.

This year’s organizers wanted to ensure the conference not only addressed crucial topics that directly affect the everyday operations of the District Courts, such as the new Modernization Rules and changes to the Unclaimed Property process among other topics, but also the importance of a healthy work/life balance and taking care of their mental and physical health.

The keynote speaker, Kathy Bourque, a leadership & Professional Development Coach, brought the group an important presentation about Everyday Leadership. Ms. Bourque, who has a Master of Science in Management and Leadership, is an author, speaker, and trainer passionate about helping leaders find joy in their work.
