that the Anthem Community Council does for residents and guests of Anthem. Today,
I'm going to help you understand where the Anthem Community Council fits in the

Stick with me as I walk you through understanding the Anthem Community
Council. So, firstly what is the Anthem Community Council? In order to put it in
perspective, I'm going to start with what Anthem Community Council is NOT. It is
not an HOA! If you've been following our videos or reading our blogs, you already
know that Anthem is divided into three different HOAs; the Anthem Community
Council is not one of them, but rather it acts as a unifying entity for the entire
Anthem community. It's neither above nor below the HOAs but rather works with the
HOAs to enhance a sense of community among all Anthem residents. Secondly, who
makes up the Anthem Community Council? It's made up of a seven member board,
that includes volunteer (which means they're unpaid and very brave) Anthem
homeowners representing each HOA. The board members are elected by Anthem
residents to serve three-year terms. Elections to fill open board seats are
held each April. Following the election, the newly constituted board selects a
President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer from its members.
If you want to know who the current board members are click on the board
members link in the notes below. Finally, what does the Anthem Community Council do?
The list of things that they do is very long and I'm not going to bore you by
reading out a long list of items. Suffice it to say that most of the main
attractions in Anthem fall under the scope and responsibilities of the Anthem
Community Council. Here are a few they own and operate: The Anthem Community
Center (yes, all those fitness facilities, the pool, the splash park, the train, and
so on), Anthem Community Park and sports fields, and the Anthem Civic Building. In
addition to owning and operating these facilities, the Anthem Community Council
also owns and operates the equipment needed to keep them all
running. The Council also hires and pays the staff necessary to keep all
of these facilities operating smoothly on a day-to-day basis. It maintains
Anthem's trail system and the trailhead, the view fences and block wall painting
in the common areas, and so much more! If you want to know more, the Anthem
Community Council has prepared a fantastic graphic outlining the division
of responsibilities as between the Anthem Community Council and the various HOAs,
which you can easily access by clicking on the who does what link in the notes
below. So, there you have it! In a nutshell, I can say that the Anthem Community
Council is an extremely hard-working, unpaid collection of some really
sensational people, who care about and spend an enormous amount of time
ensuring that your Anthem experience is awesome! Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed
that little tour. If you want to know more about the Anthem Community Council
