Information about the Missouri Secretary of State’s office:

The Office of the Missouri Secretary of State is responsible for overseeing elections in Missouri and regulating the sale of securities in the state.  The office also serves as the clearing house for not-for-profit and state business registrations.  In addition to housing the State Library, we also oversee the State Archives.

In the last three years we have initiated a number of major projects to better communicate with our customers and serve the public’s interest. 

Publications:  The Communications Director manages the annual or biennial publication of several publications, including the Missouri Constitution, Missouri Roster, and the Official Manual of the State of Missouri.  The Publications Division also is responsible for graphic design, layout and printing of publications, and public informational materials generated by the different divisions within our office.  We are currently in the process of redesigning the informational kit on Missouri and its government utilized by Missouri educators for their students.

Elections:  The Communications Director led the promotion of “It’s Your Turn:  Be a Poll Worker,” a statewide program designed to encourage better citizen participation in the election process.  This effort included a significant media campaign that ultimately recruited more than 1700 new Election Day poll worker prospects for the 2006 election.  The Communications Director must also respond to hundreds of media calls – state and national – regarding election information. 

Safe at Home:  One of our most recent initiatives, “Safe at Home,” is an address confidentiality program that provides survivors of sexual assault, rape, stalking, and domestic violence a confidential substitute mailing address through the Secretary of State’s office.  The Secretary of State’s office will forward participants’ first class mail, certified mail, and court documents to help keep their location confidential.  Participants use the substitute address on their government records and public filings, keeping assailants from using current government documents to locate their victims.

Securities Regulation:  Initially we developed “The Top 10 Threats to Missouri Investors” as an effort to help educate investors (who are often seniors) and warn them about unscrupulous investment advisors.  Building on this, we are currently developing the “Missouri Investment Protection Center,” enhancing further our efforts to educate Missouri investors. 

Archives & State Library:  The development of the award winning Death Records Database, which has earned praise from historians and genealogists worldwide, has led to expanded projects and the Missouri Digital Heritage Initiative (MDHI).  MDHI is a partnership with the Missouri State Archives and State Library that seeks to digitize vital historical documents, making more of Missouri’s history accessible online than ever before. 

Business Services:  Secretary Carnahan and our team have worked to cut red tape and streamline government for Missouri businesses.  The Missouri Business Portal, developed cooperatively with a number of state departments, provides a single point of entry, or a “one-stop shop,” for business registrations, filings, licenses, and permits for doing business in the State of Missouri.

Website:  As part of our efforts to improve the Secretary of State’s office, we completely overhauled the Secretary of State’s website by redesigning every page, updating information, and adding content.  We continue to work to improve our web-based and print materials to better serve our customers and to more effectively communicate with the public.

Posting Period:

Position posted March 6, 2008.  The minimum posting period will end April 4, 2008.  After the minimum posting period, the position may be closed to new applicants and filled at any time.

Application Procedure:
