Due to the winter weather forecasted for much of South Carolina, the Hometown Legislative Action Day scheduled for January 21, 2025, and the Municipal Elected Officials Institute of Government Session A, Session B, Advanced MEO and Advanced Continuing Education sessions scheduled for January 22, 2025 are all canceled.

In 2021, our board of directors decided to make restoring civility an ongoing top priority for the organization. Since then, we have been working to offer our elected officials the resources, workshops and other tools that will help them listen, learn and de-escalate heated situations. We want our cities and towns to exemplify good governance and civil behavior.

The Municipal Association of South Carolina, representing the state’s 271 incorporated cities and towns, remains dedicated to the principles of its founding in 1930 — to pursue initiatives that cities and towns can carry out more efficiently and effectively together through the Association than they can individually.
