Boards & Commissions

Overview:

South Carolina has over 250 statewide boards and commissions.  These boards and commissions provide important advisory, regulatory, and policy-making services as part of South Carolina’s government.  Service on boards and commissions allows citizens the opportunity to improve the quality of life and positively impact the future of South Carolina. Our office is always looking for qualified, responsible members who are willing to serve.

How do I get more information on boards & commissions in South Carolina?
The S.C. Legislative Manual is updated annually and contains a complete listing of all boards and commissions, including term information, qualifications needed, and how members are elected or appointed.  Access the 2007 Legislative Manual by clicking here.[pdf file]

How do I know what boards have vacancies?
An Act was passed by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1998 delegating to the Secretary of State the duty of publicizing vacancies, expired terms, and those terms expiring within one year. Contact Pat Hamby in the office of the Secretary of State at 803-734-2512.
