Are you a member of your local electric cooperative? If so, you're invited to participate in the South Carolina Electric Cooperative Empowerment Program (SCECEP), which is a series of community engagement events that educate community leaders on how they can serve on the Board of Trustees of their local electric cooperative.

Join us in Orangeburg, SC on Wednesday, September 4 for this SCECEP workshop! Join us and Orangeburg community partners:
