Greetings:
I thank the members of the South Carolina Conference of Black Mayors for electing me as President of this great organization. I am honored to serve as your president.
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.
My vision is for the South Carolina Conference of Black Mayors to become a significant political force in South Carolina. As such we must address the many problems that plague our cities and towns: crime, education, infrastructure, economic development, housing, and health care. It is only through our collaboration and working with others that we can have a significant impact on solving these problems. I look forward to working with each of you.
Thank you for this great opportunity. With your support, I'm confident we will improve the quality of life for the citizens of our towns, cities, state and nation. William R. Johnson, President Mayor of Holly Hill
