Nov 8 | Advisory Neighborhood Commission 8C Monthly Meeting
An ANC (Advisory Neighborhood Commission) is a non-partisan neighborhood body composed of locally elected representatives called Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners. They are a unique feature of the District's Home Rule Charter.
The Commissioners, who serve two-year terms without pay, are elected in November in even-numbered years (e.g. 2022, 2024, 2026). The ANCs were established to bring the government closer to the people and to bring the people closer to the government.
In addition to providing people with a greater say in the matters that affect their neighborhoods, ANCs were intended to end the duplication of effort caused by the proliferation of special advisory groups.
