The Island

A Message from Jeff Klein

Chief Operating Officer, WIPOA

Joining the leadership team at Williams Island has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. From the beginning, my focus has been on fostering a culture built on teamwork, accountability, and innovation. By collaborating with our talented management group and the Board of Directors, we’ve been able to set priorities with clarity, streamline processes, and launch initiatives that enrich daily life for residents while strengthening the long-term value of our community.

It has been particularly gratifying to see how these efforts—driven by a shared commitment to excellence—have elevated Williams Island’s standing as one of South Florida’s premier residential lifestyle destinations. Whether through enhancements to amenities, creating engaging opportunities for connection, or ensuring that every aspect of our operations reflects the highest standards, our progress has been the direct result of a consistent and collaborative approach.

Of course, leadership is never achieved alone. The dedication of our Board, the Building Presidents, the professionalism of our team members, and the trust of our residents have all been essential to our success. Still, I believe steady guidance provides the foundation for growth, and it has been a privilege to contribute that structure as COO of WIPOA.

Looking ahead, I am energized by the opportunities before us. We are actively exploring ways to expand lifestyle offerings, introduce innovative improvements, and further strengthen the amenities that make Williams Island extraordinary. The groundwork we’ve established together has prepared us for even greater accomplishments, and I am confident that the most exciting chapter for our community lies ahead.

I look forward to continuing this journey—working side by side with all of you—to ensure Williams Island remains the exclusive, world-class community we are shaping together.

Looking ahead, I am energized by the opportunities before us.

Let’s Celebrate Family

Williams Island isn’t just a place of luxury and relaxation—it’s also a wonderful community for families. With dedicated spaces and activities designed for children, there are fun opportunities for our youngest residents to play, learn, and create lasting memories.

Soon, families will also have a brandnew sports court to look forward to, offering even more ways for children to stay active, develop skills, and enjoy healthy competition.

Beyond the playground and sports facilities, Williams Island hosts a variety of children’s events throughout the year.
