CAPITOL HILL CORNER 
When will capable female ANC commissioners be elected in roles other than secretary or parliamentarian? Just asking.
City-wide, about 50% of ANCs meet that standard. In 6B, we just had the bad luck that only 1 woman ran for any of the 9 ANC spots in the 2022 elections. Oddly enough in the 2022-2023 cycle, according to OANC, 6B’s Ms. Durkit was the only woman to serve as parliamentarian for any ANC!
