What does a clerk do?

The clerk is the primary advisor to the Provincial Council and works neutrally and independently from the Executive Board. Together with the clerks team, the clerk ensures that council members are well informed and can perform their work optimally. The clerk prepares meetings and advises on the decision-making process. Additionally, the clerk works closely in the triangle with the Kings Commissioner and the provincial secretary to ensure the political and administrative process runs smoothly.
