COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT�

Responding to some of South Florida’s most pressing social needs, EDI plays a leadership role in many community and charitable organizations. EDI is especially proud of its work and support of such organizations as:

Jack & Jill Children’s Center, a non-profit organization that provides care for the children of low-income, predominantly one-parent working families. Jim Ellis serves on its Board of Directors.
Museum of Discovery and Sciences, a private, non-profit museum featuring dynamic interactive exhibits in the natural and physical sciences and a large array of programs designed to serve a diverse audience. Jim Ellis is chairman of the Museum's Development Committee responsible for the expansion of the Museum which will approximately double its size.
Lauderdale Beach Home Owners Association, an organization that focuses on enhancing the quality of life in the Lauderdale Beach neighborhood. Jim Ellis served as president from 1998 to 2006.
