Founding Organizations
The Edisto Island Preservation Alliance was
created by nine
island organizations to work
together to preserve Edisto's unique non-commercial,
undeveloped, rural agricultural character.
We discuss issues important to the community,
work toward consensus, and when necessary take positions
and or action as an organization. Our positions and actions
do not necessarily reflect the positions of any single organization other than EIPA.

EIPA is incorporated within the state of SC
as a not-for-profit organization.
We have our own
Board of Directors and bylaws.
We speak for EIPA's
members and on behalf of
the
people
of Edisto Island.
The individual
organizations that
founded us do
not control our actions and are not
responsible
for those actions.
From our beginning the South Carolina Department of Natural
Resources has extended a helping hand to EIPA through their NERR program (National Estuarine Research Reserve).
They provided advice and staff assistance in getting
EIPA organized,
up and running. We gratefully
acknowledge that help.
You may learn more about DNR and NERR at:

The South Carolina Dept. of Natural Resources does not influence
our decisions or
actions and is not responsible for our positions.
