CONFERENCE
OF BLACK MAYORS

27th Biennial Conference​

Providing Technical Assistance and Training

In 1973, six Black Mayors founded the South Carolina Conference of Black Mayors. The founders saw a need for an organization to address the unique and challenging problems common to cities under black management. The South Carolina Conference of Black Mayors provides technical assistance and training to Black Mayors in regard to management and the operation of municipal government, economic development, and the delivery of municipal services. The organization provides an opportunity for Black Mayors to network and learn from each other’s experiences in managing towns and cities in South Carolina.
