You are responsible for elections in your jurisdiction. You carry the title of supervisor of elections, administrator of elections, election technician, county clerk, county auditor, election commissioner, director of elections, city clerk or one of the many other titles carried by election officials throughout the international world of elections. You are faced with purchasing new equipment or upgrading older equipment; you want to find a better way; you want to find out how your peers are operating; you want to find the most cost-effective way to administer elections; you need reassurance that you are not alone in the spotlight that has fallen on election officials in today’s election universe. Where do you go?

IACREOT’s Trade Show

For over 35 years, companies, new and old, have revealed their latest technologies and products at IACREOT’s annual trade show. Vendors are eager to showcase the usefulness of their products and offer hands-on displays of their products, allowing you, the consumer, to test-drive the equipment and ask questions.

The IACREOT trade show debuts with a Grand Opening Social Hour, during which delegates can interact with the various exhibitors, taking time to check out each and every booth for further study the next day, when the trade show is open for a full day’s activity. The connection between the vendors and the consumer—you, the election official—can continue long after the close of the show with more personal, one-on-one discussions of your requirements.

The annual conference and trade show also offers delegates several educational opportunities, from continuing education certificates for attendance at division-specific seminars to graduation credits for the Chancellor’s Certificate in Public Administration Program, in conjunction with the University of Missouri, St. Louis.

IACREOT

The International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers (IACREOT) was founded in 1971 by a small group of government officials who wanted more than they were getting from their previous association. They wanted more opportunities to network with their fellow professionals, and as a result they created an organization in which elected and appointed officials, and their staffs, could share ideas and work together to effect change at all levels of government.

Today, IACREOT has more than 1,500 members, who represent all levels of government. International members include election officials from Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Australia, Nigeria, Albania, the Philippines and the Virgin Islands. IACREOT provides members with professional resources, enabling election officials to serve their respective jurisdictions with the highest degree of competence and professionalism.
