In its earliest years, SESARM operated under contracts with Georgia Institute of Technology and with South Carolina DHEC. In between, the Georgia Air Protection Branch provided in-kind executive director services.

In 2001, SESARM determined that it was desirable to establish permanent offices in the Atlanta, Georgia area in collaboration with its sister agency, Metro 4, Inc.

In November of 2001, Metro 4 and SESARM voted to hire a full-time executive director and other necessary staff in the Atlanta area to support the needs of their member agencies.

In early 2002, Metro 4/SESARM’s offices were temporarily located in the offices of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s Air Protection Branch.

Beginning June 1, 2002, Metro 4/SESARM began to occupy their permanent offices at 526 Forest Parkway, Suite F, Forest Park, Georgia 30297-6140.
