NEW BOARD LEADERSHIP
Alex (Lex) S. Crawford, Jr. was installed as EIOLT’s new Board President in January. A member of the Board of Directors for seven years, Lex served as Board Vice President for the last four. He and his family protected their 217-acre Sand Creek Farm property in 2007, and his passion for the conservation of Edisto Island knows no bounds. He succeeds BoBo Lee, EIOLT President for the last four years. Lex said, “Our members, Board and staff want to thank BoBo for his dedicated service to EIOLT and our mission. BoBo has shown us all what it means to be unwavering in your devotion to keeping a special place safe, and we are grateful that he has agreed to stay on the Board and continue this worthy work.”

He is the author of numerous local, state, and federal tax incentives for conservation easement donations. Burnie serves as Chair of EIOLT’s Land Protection Committee
