Each year, the Municipal Association of SC asks every city and town to review, verify and update the information that appears in the municipal directory found online.
The designated official from each municipality may update their information using the Municipal Information Dashboard found online. The deadline for doing so is Tuesday, November 18.
Maintaining current information, both during this annual drive and at other times of year, helps the Association keep all of the state’s municipalities informed of many key current events:
- Legislative activity at the State House that can affect local government operations
- Professional development opportunities at meetings and conferences, such as the Municipal Association of SC Annual Meeting, Hometown Legislative Action Day at the beginning of the legislative session, or the Association’s Small Cities Summit
- Training opportunities from the Association’s affiliate organizations and Risk Management Services
The Municipal Online Directory, provides details and contact information for all 271 of South Carolina’s municipalities. It lists the form of government used in each, as well as the regular schedule of city or town council meetings, as well as the names of all elected officials and key staff positions.
The online directory allows users to search for municipalities by county, by population or by which state representatives and state senators serve it.
The Association allows only one person from each municipality to handle the annual update — either the municipal clerk or the clerk’s designee — to help maintain the accuracy of the information. For assistance, or to designate a new person responsible for the update, contact Kara Pippin, communications and systems assistant, at kpippin@masc.sc or 803.354.4750.
Tuesday, November 18 is the deadline for clerks or designees to update their information on the Municipal Association Dashboard.
