ANC 2B meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month starting at 7:00 p.m. The meetings are open to the public, and the location is listed in each agenda published prior to the meeting.
Elected Representatives
Each elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner represents a Single Member District (SMD) of approximately 2,000 residents, made up of several city blocks, representing roughly 20,000 residents in the Dupont Circle area. We are elected every two years in the general November election.
Voice of the Neighborhood
The Commission has the authority to advise on infrastructure and development projects, public policy issues, and regulatory applications such as alcoholic beverage licenses, historic preservation review cases, and zoning requests. The Commission is advisory in nature and cannot create laws or determine final rulings. The Commission’s positions and decisions are to be given “great weight” by District agencies and boards.
