During ANC 2A’s regular September meeting on Wednesday, September 20th, the ANC voted to establish a process for appointing the ANC’s two designated representatives to the Community Advisory Team (CAT) for The Aston. As part of that process, the ANC is inviting anyone who has interest in serving on the CAT to submit an application here. The deadline to submit an application is 11:59 pm on Monday, October 2nd.
Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to submit a resume. For the purpose of this application, your resume may include any information you feel would be helpful for commissioners to know as they evaluate nominees, including your work experience, relevant topic area knowledge (if any), and/or key biographical information.
There are no formal requirements to serve on the CAT, and a lack of professional experience does not disqualify you from consideration.
Due to a technical limitation, resumes must be emailed to 2A@anc.dc.gov, separately from the application itself.
ANC 2A will call a special meeting, to be held sometime after October 1st, to discuss and vote on the applications. Every person who submits an application will automatically be added to the ballot for voting by commissioners.
During the special meeting, applicants will be given the opportunity (but will not be required) to give statements of up to two minutes in length. Commissioners will be allocated a set amount of time to make comments and/or address questions to the nominees.
The voting process will take place via a ranked choice voting system in order to arrive at two winning candidates. According to the ANC’s bylaws, the two winning candidates must still garner a majority of votes in order to be confirmed. This means there is a possibility the vote could result in only one or no winners.
Once again, the application form can be found here.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please reach out to Peter Sacco, ANC 2A’s Executive Director, at 2A@anc.dc.gov.
