Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1C (ANC 1C) is the official hyperlocal body representing Washington, DC's Adams Morgan neighborhood. Serving two-year terms, ANC 1C's commissioners are unpaid, elected officials who advise DC agencies and other governmental entities on matters that pertain to Adams Morgan and DC. The role of ANCs is to advise governmental representatives on a wide range of local matters. These include liquor and cannabis licenses, zoning permits, public infrastructure projects, proposed legislation, proposed municipal budgets, and other DC and neighborhood issues. ANCs can also award small grants and sponsorships to qualifying organizations for work that will benefit the greater community.

While ANCs do not have the authority to create or enforce legislation, contacting your Commission is one way to ensure lawmakers are well-informed on how local laws and policies are experienced and perceived by the residents they affect.
