Members of the Dillon County Council went on their annual trip to Hilton Head in August, and in keeping with tradition, we are publishing those expenses.
Three councilmen attended—T.F. “Buzzy” Finklea, Jr., Randy Goings, and Robert Archie Scott. Their expenses are below. The councilmen were given money in advance for meals and mileage.
According to the S.C. Association of Counties website, “Each year, SCAC’s Annual Conference provides a dynamic educational experience with opportunities for one-on-one interaction, strategizing, small group discussions and large group learning. More than 1,000 county officials—representing South Carolina’s 46 counties—gather to discuss challenges and opportunities, share best practices and attend training sessions that strengthen their capacity to lead and serve. In addition to an energizing educational program, the meeting offers opportunities to learn more about SCAC’s programs and services, and to network with exhibitors and colleagues. Many of the state’s top county leaders are also honored with awards and training certificates.”
