REPRESENTS federal employees 

&  retirees  within the  state. NARFE/SCFC

is the only organization lobbying for

our earned rights & retiree benefits at the

state level.  Bear in mind that neither the

U.S. Congress nor the South Carolina

Assembly can be relied upon to treat us

fairly or with concern...NARFE/SCFC

has to take the initiative.

ADVISES  chapters on effective ways

of carrying out various functions such as

membership, services, and public

relations benefiting federal employees &

retirees.  SCFC has the unique capability

through its area district field officers

to monitor chapter activities and provide

assistance when needed.

MOBILIZES  volunteer resources

existing in chapters in ongoing support

of causes vital to NARFE members, such

as Alzheimer's research and maintaining

the real value of South Carolina's

income exclusion for calculating state income

taxes.

COMMUNICATES  with members

and the public-at-large about issues of

concern to federal employees/retirees. 

SCFC provides a larger voice than that

of any single chapter.

MAINTAINS  a state political fund to

support political candidates who share

NARFE's and SCFC's legislative goals.

TRAINS  local NARFE chapter officers,

committee chairs and district field officers

in or to provide top quality leadership

skills for the furtherance of common

goals.

FACILITATES  effective group action to

accomplish common objectives.  By

establishing a viable political base at the

grassroots level, it channels member efforts

so as to avoid personal agendas, narrow

political viewpoints and pet peeves.

PROMOTES  the objectives of

NARFE throughout South Carolina. 

The SCFC is the logical organization to

set specific and attainable goals for the

chapters to support within the state,

the objectives of National Headquarters. 

SCFC speaks for all South Carolina

members on National NARFE

policy issues.

SERVES  as a vehicle for the exchange

of ideas among members about programs-

actions of benefit to federal employees-

retirees through its annual convention,

GEMS, NARFE WATCH and the 

SCFC newsletter.

(See Info-Links page.)

PROVIDES  a unified voice in Columbia

when dealing with the governor and the

General Assembly and educates state

legislators and local officials about concerns

of federal employees/retirees.  It helps

state legislators refine proposed bills

affecting us all.
