The Municipal Court Managers Association is committed to high standards of professionalism and expertise. Our members are highly experienced court managers who possess a wide range of practical skills and a diverse educational background. We share a common goal of wanting the most efficient and customer-friendly POA court system that we can provide.


Partnership Between MCMA and OMMI

To recognize the wealth of expertise that court managers and their staff possess, the MCMA entered into a partnership with the Ontario Municipal Management Institute (OMMI) in 2010. By evaluating qualifications and experience against a stringent set of criteria, OMMI categorizes successful applicants as Certified Municipal Manager (CMM) or the higher level designations of CMM  I, CMM II or CMM III. Successful applicants who work within the POA court administration field may also apply to enhance their CMM designation with the career specific specialism of either “Court Professional” or “Court Executive”. For the designation “Court Executive” the applicant must have been assessed by OMMI at a minimum of CMM Level II and they must also be employed as the senior person managing daily POA functions for an Ontario municipality. For more information on OMMI, please visit their website: http://www.ommi.on.ca


Ongoing Accreditation Process

The OMMI-MCMA accreditation process provides a clear indication of professional achievement and will assist in future career development and succession planning. Over time, as membership grows within the “Court Professional” and “Court Executive” categories, the MCMA hopes to see more and more municipalities incorporating the requirements into their job descriptions and vacancy notices for court staff positions.
