New ANC Google Group

I received an announcement about a new Google Group for ANC Commissioners, and others interested in the ANC system and its role in our communities.

Here's further description of the group-
Whether you're a new ANC Commissioner learning to navigate the maze of DC government, a seasoned Commissioner with knowledge to share, or a constituent with suggestions for organizational improvement, we hope you will use this google group as a primary community resource to contribute to the political process. No ANC should function as an island. We need to think beyond the boundaries of our Single Member Districts to build cross-Commission
relationships to tackle the collective issues facing our community.

Some goals of this group for the immediate future include:

-Initiate an inter-Commission dialogue to identify issues surrounding the delivery of government programs and services.
-Establish a forum to promote civic organizations, community organizing and community events, city-wide, through monthly ANC meetings and processes.
-Develop standard operating procedures for the effective management of our Commissions and for improved communication with DC offices and agencies.
I'd like to hear your thoughts and suggestions, so post away.

Thanks,

Ryan Velasco, Commissioner
