The Elected Officials Institute is specifically designed to give South Carolina municipal elected officials a knowledge base for establishing good public policy for their hometowns. It consists of both in-person sessions and sessions streamed to councils of governments locations across the state.
Elected officials who complete all of the coursework receive a certificate and graduate from the Institute.
The in-person sessions are offered in conjunction with the Municipal Association’s Hometown Legislative Action Day held each February. Officials must take Session A then take Session B the following February.
The classes broadcast via webstream are core courses and are offered at three different times during the year at the councils of governments' locations.
