ATHENS, Ohio -- The Institute for Local Government Administration and Rural Development (ILGARD) at Ohio University is sponsoring a "Building Computer Competency" session for township clerks July 12.

The introduction to Microsoft Works includes word processing, spreadsheets and databases with emphasis on letters, memos and minutes.

Clerks more familiar with the software may attend an advanced computer workshop Sept. 20. That workshop will offer an in-depth exploration of word processing, spreadsheets and databases.

Each training session will be at Ohio University from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"These workshops are central to ILGARD's mission of building capacity in local governments," said Pat Dewees, ILGARD associate director.
