CLAY COUNTY – Clay County Supervisor of Elections Chris H. Chambless received his recertification as a Certified Elections/Registration Administrator through the Election Center’s Professional Education Program. The Professional Education Program is the only continuing professional education program specializing in voter registration and elections administration.

Along with Supervisor Chambless, Elections Services Manager Holly DePaul and Voter Services Manager Kemie Mahan also completed their professional certification as CERA graduates during the 38th National Conference.

Since 1994, the Election Center has partnered with Auburn University to offer professional certification as CERA status. Participants develop practical skills and working knowledge and receive continuing education units from Auburn and Election Center credit towards achieving the profession’s highest designation.

After completing coursework and additional requirements, a student can become a CERA. Obtaining and then maintaining CERA status requires dedication to the highest professional standards and a commitment to continuing education.
