Bank of the Islands Underwrites SCCF Annual Report

Bank of the Islands is once again stepping up to underwrite publication of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) Annual Report.

The report includes an underwriting statement from Edison National Bank/Bank of the Islands CEO Geoffrey W. Roepstorff that reads in part:

“Moving forward together from the challenges we have faced on Sanibel and Captiva, the positive qualities evident in our island community have never been stronger. When it comes to SCCF in particular, their commitment to science-based policies and programs, strong and inclusive leadership, and effective partnerships has put our community on a resilient path forward.”

The arrival of the SCCF Annual Report to island mailboxes is set for November 10. The FY24-25 report will cover activities and accomplishments from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.

“It is so important that we share our focused work and continuing challenges with the widest possible audience in Southwest Florida,” said SCCF CEO James Evans. “Bank of the Islands’ financial generosity is essential to making that happen, and for that we are most grateful.”
