ANC 6B is actively seeking interested residents to participate as voting members on committees and task forces. Under the ANC’s bylaws, one resident from each Single Member District (SMD) can serve as a voting member of each standing committee while multiple residents of a SMD can serve on task forces. This is your chance to influence events and decisions in the neighborhood. By expanding the skills and capacity of the Commission, your involvement will allow ANC 6B to do more for our community.
ANC 6B features two standing committees–Planning and Zoning and Alcoholic Beverage Control; a term limited Transportation committee; and two Task Forces–the Outreach & Constituent Services TF and the Hill East TF. If you are interested in representing 6B09 on a committee or task force, please contact the appropriate committee or task force chair or vice-chair and copy or call me (brianf6b09@anc6b.org or 202-658-9447).
Here is a listing of the committees/task forces and their leadership:

Again, if you are interested in representing 6B09 on a committee or task force, please contact the appropriate committee or task force chair or vice-chair and copy or call me (brianf6b09@anc6b.org or 202-658-9447). The respective committee/task force will consider the applicant at its next meeting and forward a recommendation to the next full Commission meeting. Once approved by the full Commission, the resident member will serve for a period of one year (typically February to February). Resident members can serve for a longer period of time if they desire, subject to a determination that the member is in good standing and review by the full Commission each February.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to strengthen our neighborhood and ANC 6B!
