Collaboration with Town Clerks
In addition, JPus was a guest of the Vermont Municipal Clerk and Treasurer's Association. Town clerks issue marriage licenses, and work closely with the JPs who witness the couple's affirmation and file the legal documentation. Jay continued, "Nurturing our partnerships supports our members' success. We are grateful to VMCTA for welcoming us, and providing the opportunity for continued collaboration."
