The SC Municipal Insurance Trust and SC Municipal Insurance and Risk Financing Fund recognized 10 new graduates of the Risk Management Institute as well as six Risk Management Services award winners during the RMS Annual Members Meeting in November.
SCMIT provides self-funded workers’ compensation coverage to its member cities, while SCMIRF provides all lines of property and casualty coverage, including tort liability and automobile coverage for its members. The Municipal Association of SC sponsors both programs.

The annual RMS Awards recognize those SCMIT and SCMIRF members who keep employees safe and reduce their total costs. RMS determines the winners using each member’s record of loss experience over the previous three years.
There are three winners each for SCMIT and SCMIRF, based on population divisions. The award winners receive a plaque and a $2,500 award. The 2024 winners for SCMIT are the City of Manning, the City of North Augusta and the Town of Timmonsville. The 2024 SCMIRF winners are the Town of Jefferson, the Town of Ridgeland and the City of Walterboro.
