The South Carolina General Assembly created the Commission in 1972 by passing Act 1832, which was amended in July 1974. Greenville County ordinance numbers 784, 1220 and 1749 supported the creation of the Commission and after Home Rule eventually established the twelve board positions that we have today. Greenville County Council appoints all board members through an application process. The board as per their by-laws selects the officers of the board annually. Board members can be reached through the Human Relations Executive Director by e-mail or by telephoning the Human Relations office at 864.467.7095.
