“School board members must register through their
board administrators, clerks, or secretaries to prevent duplicate registrations,
invoicing, and credit card charges. Associate members must register through
their company’s contact assigned by SCSBA. Registrations by individual members
are not accepted.”
SCSBA's 2025 Annual Convention, New Board Orientation and Board Chair Workshop will be held at the Embassy Suites at Kingston Resorts in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
New Conference Registration Process:
Effective immediately, the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) will now require attendees to register for conferences PRIOR TO securing lodging associated with the event. The registration fee is non-refundable but is transferrable to ANYONE in the attendee’s district or organization. The change is necessary to address the monetary loss to the association when the block of hotel rooms reserved for the conference are not filled. These are typically rooms reserved by school districts or organizations for attendees but cancelled at the last minute and cannot be filled by attendees who have already reserved rooms in overflow hotels.
For each conference, SCSBA negotiates terms for the room block which must be met. This means hundreds of rooms are held by the hotel and available at a lower rate prior to each conference with the promise of the Association filling them. Last-minute cancellations result in SCSBA accepting responsibility for payment on behalf of attendees, which lessens our ability to secure accommodations needed for each conference.
Under the new process, NO ONE will have access to the room block until they have first registered for the event.
School board members must register through their board administrators, clerks, or secretaries to prevent duplicate registrations, invoicing, and credit card charges. Associate members must register through their company’s contact. Registrations by individual members are not accepted.
