Kathryn Taylor, assistant city clerk of Foley, has earned the Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) designation from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

The CMC designation program is designed to enhance the job performance of the clerk in small and large municipalities. To earn the CMC designation, a municipal clerk must attend extensive education programs. The designation also requires pertinent experience in a municipality. The program prepares the participants to meet the challenges of the complex role of the municipal clerks by providing them with quality education in partnership with 47 institutions of higher learning. The program has been in existence since 1970 and has helped thousands of clerks in various municipalities.

Taylor has lived in Baldwin County for almost five years and is married to Ronnie Taylor. They have three children.
