By now you’ve certainly heard about Seabrook Island’s award as the first community in South Carolina to earn the designation of “Audubon International Certified Sustainable Community.” You might also have noticed the new sign posted at the Gatehouse to promote awareness of this important award. Numerous Seabrookers participated over a seven-year period in the work that led to this achievement.
Seabrook Island and the award are featured in the Spring 2018 edition of CMIA Today, the publication of the Community Managers International Association. CMIA is a professional organization that supports, trains, and certifies managers of large-scale community associations such as SIPOA. (Our Executive Director, Heather Paton, is a Director in the CMIA organization.) The article profiles our island and the importance of the Audubon award, and its photographs are a testament to the unique beauty of this special place.

4:15 pm to 5:15 pm – Core Essentials: More Balance Challenges
Are you ready to increase your core work?
Time to take it to the next level by challenging and improving your balance, strength and posture and join Alison Standard for the Balance Semi Private Series.
Balance is an essential component in the quest to age powerfully, confidently and fit. The fact is that all functional movements require a working balance system. Activities as basic as getting up out of a chair, to walking, climbing stairs, dancing, jogging, playing games such as golf, tennis and pickle ball and this list can go on. Good balance prevents injury, improves athletic performance, provides confidence and assists in performing the activities of daily life.
All class members at all skill levels will continue to benefit from the limited class size and the individual instruction and attention they will receive from Alison. Please note, spots in semi-private series are limited and preregistration is required. There is minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 participants.
The cost per semi-private series is $40 per participant. Please note, registration for a series includes all four classes at the same time on the same day throughout May. These workshops are not included in the monthly class pass. There are no refunds. Fee will be charged to your Property Owner/Club Account.
For more information or to register for one of the semi-private series, please email Alison Standard at alsfitnessinc@gmail.com. Please make sure to include which series (Level 1 or Core Essentials) you would like to register for, as well as your Property Owner/Club Account.
Thank you!

Introducing the new “FastAccess” feature in our ABDI Gate Access software.
During the past two months we have been phasing-in various components of the ABDI software system.
Effective Friday, April 27th the “FastAccess” feature is active. “FastAccess” is available on both GateAccess.net and the GateAccess.net App.
“FastAccess” enables a Property Owner to transmit gate-pass vouchers to guests in advance of their arrival. The vouchers contain a QR code that can be printed by a guest before arrival or stored in their smart device. When the guest arrives at the gate, the QR code is scanned by the Security Officers and a pass prints automatically. Use of the vouchers enables our Security officers to create passes in about 10-15 seconds per pass! That reduces processing time by almost 1 minute per pass!
More information on use of the Fast Access feature is available here.
Please note – this feature is for personal guests. If you are expecting rental guests via your rental company and/or VRBO, the rental voucher system is already operational. Information on that feature was included below. Also included below are answers to general questions we are routinely receiving regarding the gate access software.
If you need further info on rental guest passes or other access software issues, please contact the SIPOA office at receptionist@sipoa.org.
