DC Office of ANCsWhat an ANC does
An Advisory Neighborhood Commission is the most local level of DC government. The city is split into ANCs, and each ANC into small Single Member Districts. Every district elects one commissioner. Commissioners are unpaid neighbors.
ANCs don't make final decisions. They vote on positions and send them to DC agencies, which by law must give those positions "great weight": the agency has to respond to the ANC's concerns in writing when it decides.
