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 Edgemont’s advocacy and civic engagement organization. The ECC represents our community’s interests and advocates for Edgemont at all levels of government. We maintain relationships at the school district, fire district, town, county, state, and federal levels to advance issues that affect the Edgemont community. We are the only Edgemont community organization that represents all residents – newcomers, parents of current students, and empty nesters alike.
The Edgemont Community Council also builds community by planning events and supporting organizations that foster engagement, belonging, and neighborhood spirit. Each of Edgemont’s eight neighborhoods is represented on the ECC Board of Directors, and we coordinate with neighborhood associations where they exist.
Signature community events supported by the ECC include the Crane’s Pond Halloween Parade, Menorah Lighting, Tree Lighting, and Carol Sing events; an annual community-wide service event; and the Edgemont Lunar New Year Celebration in partnership with the Edgemont Chinese Association. The ECC also sponsors the non-partisan School Board Nominating Committee (SBNC) and the Edgemont Newcomers Club.
The ECC Board of Directors consists of 15 at-large directors and one director representing each of the eight neighborhoods in Edgemont.
What does the ECC do?
The ECC runs the following committees:
⮚ ECC Nominating
⮚ Environmental Education
⮚ Governmental 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 23 at NomCom@EdgemontECC.org. Additionally, all community members are invited to attend monthly ECC meetings to learn more about the organization, our initiatives, and the work we do for the community.
Our planning for the 2026-2027 season will kick off at the ECC Annual Meeting on April 29, 2026 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,
2026 ECC Nominating Committee
