Meet The Board

Monthly board meetings are open meetings and new representation is always welcome! Most of our officers have served in rotating positions which makes for a depth of institutional memory but new board members are always needed. If you are interested in becoming active with the ANA please contact one of the officers or board members to find out the location of the next board meeting and sit in. It might become a community service that appeals to you.


Ashland Neighborhood: A Historic Lexington District

The ANA includes approximately 465 buildings and is governed by a 12 member Board made up of elected officers and neighborhood representatives. The Ashland Neighborhood is in one of Lexington’s original arboretums and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historic houses and its landscape design. The nationally renowned Olmsted Brothers firm that designed New York’s Central Park laid out the original subdivision in the early 1920s. Since 1986, the ANA has addressed its mission through neighborhood design, property enhancement activities, neighborhood safety programs and initiatives designed to increase communication and connectivity.
