Looking to get more involved in the community?
The Edgemont Community Council (ECC) is seeking residents to join its Board of Directors and its committees.
What is the ECC?
We are the leading advocacy and civic engagement organization in Edgemont. The ECC represents our community’s interests and advocates for Edgemont at all levels of government. We maintain relationships at the town, county, state, and federal levels to advance issues that affect the Edgemont community.
The ECC also works to build a sense of community and belonging by planning events and supporting organizations that foster community engagement and spirit, such as the Crane’s Pond Halloween Parade, the Crane’s Pond Menorah lighting, and the Edgemont Lunar New Year Celebration. The ECC is also the sponsor of the non-partisan School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC), as well as the Edgemont Newcomers Club.
The ECC Board of Directors is composed of 23 directors total – 15 at-large directors and one additional director representing each of Edgemont’s eight neighborhoods.
What does the ECC do?
The ECC runs the following six standing committees:
– ECC Nominating
– Government Affairs
– Newcomers
– Programming
– Public Safety
– School Board Nominating
What’s the time commitment?
The ECC Board of Directors meets monthly, typically the 1st Monday of every month from September through June, in the EHS Faculty Lounge. Each Director also serves on a committee, and each committee meets with varying frequency depending on the work they are doing.
If you are interested in learning more about getting involved with the ECC, please reach out to us by Monday, March 24 at NomCom@EdgemontECC.org. Additionally, all community members are invited to attend a monthly ECC meeting at any time to learn more about the organization, our initiatives, and the work we do for the community.
Our planning for the 2025-2026 season will kick off at the ECC Annual Meeting on April 30, 2025 at 8PM in the Seely Place APR. Light coffee and dessert will be served at 7:30PM.
Thank you for considering this important opportunity to serve the Edgemont community.
Sincerely,
2025 ECC Nominating Committee
