Past President’s Section
The South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association is guided by the elected officials of the Executive Committee. The direction of the Association is spearheaded by the President of the Executive Committee, a position that demands a lot of decision-making, time away from home, and often unnoticed sacrifices. Remaining engaged with the Association after serving as President is crucial to pass down knowledge and experiences to the next generation of leaders. The Past Presidents Section formally organizes this unique fraternity, creating a space for enhanced communication and continued involvement.
