Guipe seeks second term as county recorder

Susan Guipe, Elkhart County Recorder, has announced her candidacy for a second term for the office of Elkhart County Recorder, in the 1998 Republican Primary Election. Guipe stated her qualifications as 26 years of experience in the Elkhart County Recorder’s office, as well as 12 years as chief deputy before being elected in 1994. The recorder’s office is a “hold over office,” with her term of service beginning in 1996. She is entering her third year as recorder. In making her announcement, Guipe focused on the duty of the recorder, to record documents and maintain records. “The office has consistently used technology to become more efficient. We have gone from hand-written indexing to computer entry; from typing documents to microfilming; from cumbersome, poor-quality reproduction to beautiful copies from the microfilm. The principal benefit of these actions has been to make the office more efficient in serving the public,” she stated. As the county grows and the information history that is stored increases, Guipe believes the challenge facing the county recorder’s office is to investigate the tools available that will continue to improve the effectiveness of the office. She said, “With any new technology, we believe that it is a priority to evaluate the cost-effec-tiveness and the benefits before implementation. We believe our first duty is to the' public: to serve with the best information available and make the information accessible. I want to serve as recorder for a second next term, maintaining the high standards for which the office is known. Our main focus, though, is to serve the public with
