Commissioner Chair
-
Since January 2021 I’ve helped pass resolutions and provided support letters on opioid usage, child care expansion, and low income housing development.
-
I’ve established better communication between the commission and the community, creating a newsletter and landing page to help people keep up with commission and community activities.
-
I’ve helped our meetings provide more value to the community by ensuring they run smoothly and feature relevant speakers each month.
-
I’ve held several community clean ups to help beautify our neighborhood.
-
I partnered with several community stakeholders to get important infrastructure issues addressed in my SMD.
-
And perhaps most important, I've worked alongside the other officers to re-open our bank account and start the Commission down the path of fiscal responsibility, while also paying it forward to the community through our newly instituted grant program.
-
I look forward to continuing to work for the community!

BRITTANY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
ABOUT ADVISORY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSIONERS
Advisory Neighborhood Commission 8E represents the Congress Heights, Valley Green and Washington Highlands neighborhoods. The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANC) consider a wide range of policies and programs affecting their neighborhoods, including traffic, parking, recreation, street improvements, liquor licenses, zoning, economic development, police protection, sanitation and trash collection and the District's annual budget. District law says that agencies cannot take any action that will significantly affect a neighborhood unless they give the affected ANCs 30 days advance notice.
In each of these areas, the intent of the ANC is to ensure input from an advisory board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods who are directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of government with the closest official ties to the people in a neighborhood. The ANCs present their positions and recommendations on issues to various District government agencies, the Executive Branch and the DC Council. They also present testimony to independent agencies, boards and commissions, usually under rules of procedure specific to those entities. By law, the ANCs may also present their positions to federal agencies.
