On June 10, 2005 a group of City Secretaries from a five county area met
in the City of McKinney to discuss the formation of a new TMCA Chapter
in closer proximity to their cities. The attendees felt with the growth of the
counties north of Dallas, there was a need to establish a Chapter to offer
other resources that might be more convenient to the cities in these
areas. Counties that were included in the initial discussions were: Collin,
Hunt, Rockwall, Grayson, and Fannin. Twenty seven city secretaries from
the five county areas attended the first meeting.
The 27 attendees voted to move forward with the creation of a new
chapter. Support was received from the North Texas Chapter of the Texas
Municipal Clerks Association which encompassed the five county split
and approval was given by the Executive Board of the Texas Municipal
Clerks Association on November 2, 2005.
The first Lone Star Chapter Officers were installed on October 6, 2005.
Dues were set and meeting dates were established with a different city
hosting each meeting to allow all members the opportunity to attend
meetings in close proximity to their cities.
Membership has grown over the past three years and many small cities
unable to attend meetings are now active and involved with the Chapter.
The Chapter is dedicated to providing education, information and
networking for city secretaries. The Chapter is generous in providing
local chapter scholarships and educational opportunities for their
members.
