Welcome Our New Chief Operating Officer, Shawn Colin

We're excited to announce that Shawn Colin will join Sea Pines CSA as Chief Operating Officer beginning September 8, 2025.


Shawn brings 25 years of public sector leadership experience to Sea Pines, most recently serving as Assistant Town Manager of Strategic Initiatives for the Town of Hilton Head Island. During his nearly 19-year tenure with the Town, he led major infrastructure projects, budget oversight, and strategic planning initiatives.


As COO, Shawn will work with our Maintenance & Facilities operations, oversee management of the Sea Pines Forest Preserve and Six Oaks Cemetery, and progressively take on leadership of our IT department. He'll also work directly with the Traffic Task Force on the South Island Traffic Circle Improvement Project and serve as our liaison to the Sea Pines Architectural Review Board.


“Shawn Colin’s extensive background in community development and deep knowledge of the Hilton Head community make him an ideal fit for this position,” said Sam Bennett, Sea Pines CSA’s President/Chief Executive Officer. “As Sea Pines continues to be a premier community in the Hilton Head area, Shawn’s deep knowledge and leadership skills will help us sustain and enhance the quality of life and long-term value for Sea Pines property owners, businesses and visitors.”
