![DLANC Committee 2023](https://dlanc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/DLANC-Committee-2023-1.jpg)
The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (“DLANC”) is governed by a 24-member Board of Directors, whose members participate on various committees.
DLANC board members are volunteer City officials elected by the members of our communities every two years in official city elections. Our 24-member Board of Directors is composed of residential and business representatives from five assigned geographic areas of Downtown; and Social Services Providers, Homeless residents, At-Large and Area Wide seats. We have five board officer positions, nine standing committees, and appointed liaisons and alternate board members.
To see the official roster of our Board of Directors, Board Alternates, and Planning & Land-use Committee, visit https://empowerla.org/dlanc/
The full Board of Directors meet on the
second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM.
