Wood County Clerk of Courts Cindy A. Hofner was presented with a commendation from the Ohio Clerk of
Courts Association at the association’s Winter Conference, held in Columbus.
Hofner received the recognition for attending and participating in each of the Education Seminars offered
by the Association throughout 2011.
Certificates of commendations were presented by Kristina Frost, Clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio.
The OCCA offered seminars on a variety of clerk of courts-related topics.
Among the seminars were: Working with the Ohio Supreme Court and death penalty appeals; electronic filing
of Court documents, Courthouse security; Legal advice versus legal information presented by the Ohio
Supreme Court staff; Civil protection orders and bankruptcy issues, presented by the Ohio Attorney
General’s office; bail bond procedures; and automobile titling issues presenting by the State of Ohio
Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
"The monthly education seminars held by the OCCA are an important resource for keeping on top of
emerging trends and technologies" Hofner said.
"My goal is to offer the best service possible to the residents of Wood County, and these classes
are an essential part of helping me to do that."
The seminars are held in conjunction with the Ohio Clerk of Courts Association monthly meetings.
The OCCA began in 1940 as a forum for clerks from all 88 counties to exchange ideas and compare programs,
and to exercise influence in legislation that affects the office.
