Executive Board Retreat – Columbia, South Carolina

This meeting is open the Executive Board Members only. Please register only if you currently serve on the Executive Board.
Join us in Columbia, South Carolina, for the Southeast Propane Alliance’s Executive Board Retreat — an important opportunity for SEPA’s leadership and staff to come together for focused conversation, collaboration, and strategic planning.
Over the course of two days, our Board will engage in meaningful discussions centered on organizational priorities, long-term goals, and alignment across key initiatives. The retreat will include dedicated time for board‑level dialogue, staff-led updates, committee-focused work, and structured planning designed to move SEPA forward with clarity and momentum.
Participants will also enjoy a comfortable and welcoming environment at Hotel Trundle, a boutique property located in the heart of downtown Columbia. The retreat includes opportunities for networking, shared meals, and informal connection as we prepare for a productive year ahead.
