AIA is an association of residents and supporters of Amelia Island, Florida. The association focuses of two primary goals -
AIA serves these goals by informing members through this website, and AIA Alerts that are e-mailed to AIA members. While AIA may occasionally take a position on issues, the association goal is to provide information so that island residents and supporters can make their own decisions. |

Wynn Fendig, Republican candidate for county commissioner from District 3, received the endorsement of the directors of the Amelia Island Association (AIA) for the primary election on August 26, 2008 to the Board of County Commissioners for Nassau County. Because there are only Republican candidates for commissioner from District 3, the winner of the Republican Party primary on August 26 will be the new Commissioner. All citizens are eligible to vote in this primary contest. The Amelia Island Association, a non-partisan organization comprising a membership in Eastern Nassau County, is dedicated to policies and political leadership that represent good government and smart growth. In reaching its decision to back Mr. Fendig, the AIA directors interviewed Ms. Stacy Johnson and Mr. Fendig against a list of standard topics and found him to be extremely well suited for the job of County Commissioner. Mr. Fendig’s background includes particularly notable service for the past 2 years as a member of the Planning and Zoning Board where his decisions, in the opinion of the AIA Directors , have been transparent, in the broader interest of the community, and often in the minority. Mr. Fendig is currently employed as Operations Manager of the White Oak Plantation. The AIA leadership was impressed with Mr.Fendig’s knowledge of county land use policy, his understanding of the Comprehensive Plan and related ordinances, and his reputation for independence and personal integrity. AIA will be considering its endorsements of the November
general election candidates in October. |
