Municipal Association of South Carolina

Civility. Respect. Solutions.
Last year, our board of directors decided to make restoring civility a 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.
