Courses cover topics such as Conducting Public Meetings, Ethics, Budgeting and Municipal Finance, Freedom of Information Act, and much more.
For more than 30 years, the Association has offered the South Carolina Municipal Elected Officials Institute of Government. The first class graduated in 1988.
