Dear Neighbors,
My name is Roberta Shapiro. I hope to represent you, beginningJanuary 2023, as ANC commissioner in the (new) 6A03 district. After 8years of devoted service, Phil Toomajian is retiring as our commissioner andhas endorsed me as candidate for 6A03.(Note: Due to the 2020 census, ANC districtshave been redrawn as detailed in this link.)

Advisory Neighborhood Commissions(ANC) provide avenues for grassroots participation in important decisions madeby city agencies on issues such as -- zoning, economic development, education, health/socialservices, public safety, liquor licenses, housing, transportation, theenvironment, and more. An ANC Commissioner also can act as a constituentservices liaison to government agencies, especially in collaboration with citycouncil members and their staffs.
I would like to share a bit about me and the issues that Icare about.
I am a retired from a career as a health care and not-for-profitmanager and consultant. I’ve been vice-presidentof a not-for-profit teaching hospital, executive director of Ronald McDonaldHouse Charities of Alabama, and of CommunityHealth, a Chicago-based free clinic. I’ve also held executive positions in severalhealth insurance-related entities. I havea Masters in Public Health and also in a Masters in Business Administration.
Since my husband and I moved to DC in 2013, I’ve workedwith not-for-profit entities, both as an employee and volunteer, includingCapitol Hill Village, the Association of American Medical Colleges, Compass ProBono (a volunteer consultancy for non-profits), Good Neighbors Capitol Hill (refugeeresettlement) and Washington English Center (as a volunteer ESL teacher.) I serve on our ANC’s Economic Development andZoning (EDZ) Committee. I love the Hill, in partbecause it reminds me of the diverse and engaged Hyde Park community, inChicago, where I grew up.
If elected ANC commissioner,some of my objectives would include:
· Communicatingand listening to residents regarding key issues in our community, includingpublic safety, transportation, health and social services, housing, environmentand education.
· Encouragingdevelopment that supports diversity, equity, and the unique historic andresidential nature of our community.
· Supportingtimely and effective responses from DC government agencies and electedofficials to residents’ concerns.
· Supportinggrassroots efforts for DC statehood and protection of home rule.
I would be honored to haveyour support. If you have any questions about the elections, registering tovote, etc., go to: https://www.dcboe.org/Voters/Register-To-Vote/Register-to-Vote?ref=voteusa_en
