[OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN] – On January 1, 2026, Oakland County Clerk/ Register of Deeds Lisa Brown assumed a new role as 1st Vice President of the Michigan Association of County Clerks (MACC), elevating her to a key leadership post in the statewide association.
“I’m grateful for the confidence placed in me by my fellow County Clerks,” said Clerk Brown. “MACC provides an important forum for County Clerks to receive training, share best practices, and discuss the issues affecting our offices and the services we deliver. The professional development I have received from my involvement in MACC has helped me be a better County Clerk for the people of Oakland County.”
Leadership elections were held at the MACC Annual Conference in August 2025. Founded in 1977, MACC helps foster closer working relationships among County Clerks throughout Michigan by promoting better understanding of the duties of the office of the County Clerk through continuing education and legislative advocacy.
“The chance to work with colleagues from across the state on issues that affect our offices has really been a rewarding experience,” Clerk Brown said. “I look forward to this expanded role in our association to help County Clerks navigate these challenging times.”
Established in the state constitution, the office of County Clerk may vary in size and scope depending on the county, but all offices serve as the official “keeper of the record,” responsible for receipt and safeguarding of public records, including but not limited to, birth, death, and marriage records, circuit court filings, and concealed pistol licenses.
2026 will be Lisa Brown’s fourteenth year serving as the Oakland County Clerk/ Register of Deeds, one of the busiest departments of its kind in the state. Under her stewardship, the Oakland County Elections Division has developed both the largest consolidated absent voter counting board and largest early voting program in the state.
Along with MACC, Clerk Brown is active with the Michigan Association of Registers of Deeds (MARD) and was appointed by the Governor to serve on the Michigan Electronic Recording Commission. A lifelong Oakland County resident, Brown is a graduate of Michigan State University and the Detroit College of Law. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan and a former State Representative.
