Year in Review - What KICA Does
The Kiawah Island Community Association (KICA) exists to preserve and
enhance the quality of life and property values of its members. It accomplishes
this by providing a framework to establish and enforce community expectations
and standards; by undertaking and implementing strategic and operational
planning; and by leading the staff of well-trained employees who are committed
to quality service. Through its programs and services, the association plays
a leadership role in ensuring that Kiawah Island is a beautiful, safe, wellmaintained and friendly community.
KICA owns and maintains 987 acres of common residential and parkway land
including 301 landscaped acres and parks; 119 lakes that encompass 342 acres;
56 linear miles of streets including curbs, gutters and subsurface drainage; 18
miles of leisure trails, most of the public boardwalks and beach access paths;
the Sandcastle Community Center; Rhett’s Bluff boat launch and the Cinder
Creek Pavilion, boathouse and dock. We also provides 24/7 security services
and operate two security gates.
Member Volunteers: KICA is very grateful for the more than 200 active
volunteers who donate their time to our organization. Thank you to the members
who better this community through sharing their talents and expertise.
Board of Directors: KICA’s seven-person board of directors sets policy and
provides supervision. The member directors are elected by the membership at
the annual meeting. Kiawah Partners (KP), the master developer, appoints the
sole developer director annually.
