the Edisto Island Community Association

The Edisto Island Community Association is the voice of the Edisto community. It's interests include public safety, education, quality of life, disaster preparedness and much, much more.

Leadership of the organization represents the diversity of the island population and it has long been active in protecting those things that the people of Edisto cherish.

The association meets quarterly usually at Jane Edwards School. The Board meets more frequently and when pressing items arise will quickly call a general meeting to get input from the entire community.

Meeting of the Community Assocation

But the real work of the association comes in our meetings where we discuss everything from the Charleston Co. Comprehensive Plan to law enforcement. Recent topics have included conservation easements, the Island's recently founded program of respite care for families facing Alzheimer's, the possibility of Jane Edwards School becoming a magnet school,
and YMCA programs. The community Association has taken a lead role in preparing the island for hurricanes and other emergencies. A continuing topic has been our college scholarship program and our efforts to attract highly qualified young people to benefit from those scholarships.

We urge you to donate to Our Scholarship Fund
which assists qualified Edisto residents in achieving a
college education.

We welcome all friends of Edisto, residents and property owners to join our Association.
