CANCELLATION OF 2020 SPRING CONFERENCE
President J. Scott McClain
3/25/2020
It is with mixed emotions that we as your Board must make decisions that ultimately affect our everyday life. We are all used to working and conducting our business as usual and not worrying about a pandemic such as COVID-19.
But due to this pandemic, we have decided to CANCEL OUR SPRING CONFERENCE IN MYRTLE BEACH. We have been closely monitoring our President, our Governor and local leaders to try and make the best decision as possible.
After our teleconference this morning, we have concluded that you, OUR MEMBERSHIP and your FAMILIES are the most important and a conference can be overlooked in these times that we are ALL going through.
Please pray for our nation and all Federal, State and Local leaders as they make decisions that affect us all. Please look on our website for updates and please sign up for our Fall Conference in Greenville this November.

New Web Page Added
You may notice a new link in the menu bar in the header. A new web page has been added. Every couple weeks, we will be adding to the page a new code modification or addition to the 2018 International Codes. South Carolina will switch to the 2018 codes series beginning January 1, 2019. Hopefully, this new section will help you with the transition to the new codes. Each code modification or addition will have a section at the end for comments. Post your comments so others can see and reply. Due to bots, comments will be reviewed and approved before they are made public.
