Northern Township is searching for its next Town Clerk. Our longtime Clerk, Mary Israelson, is retiring after many years of dedicated service to the Township and its residents. Mary has been an exceptional public servant, and her contributions to Northern Township are deeply appreciated. We wish her well in retirement — and we’re looking for someone ready to carry that tradition of service forward.

The role covers a broad range of responsibilities: Board meeting support, records management, elections administration, utility billing, payroll, public notices, cemetery administration, and more. Evening availability is required twice a month for Board meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month.
Pay: $25.00 – $32.50 per hour depending on qualifications
