Single-Member District (SMD) Reflections & Updates

Emeritus Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Benjamin E. Thomas, SMD 7E01.

The ANC has recently lost a great Commissioner, Emeritus Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Benjamin E. Thomas, SMD 7E01.

Mr. Thomas served as President of the Benning Ridge Civic Association, Vice-Chair of the Far-North Southeast Council, and Chair of the Sixth District Citizens Advisory Council. In addition, to his many Excellent and outstanding Accomplishments Mr. Thomas was an excellent dedicated leader, he was an Elected delegate to the 1980 White House Conference on Aging and Families, under tenure of President Ronald Reagan.

Mr. Thomas was a great community advocate, as he is known for serving for 18 years as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner on Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 7E.

He was first elected in November 1984 and served from January 1985 through 1996. He was also elected in November of 2008 and 2016 for two-year terms beginning in January 2009 and 2017 respectively.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and are forever grateful for the tireless work he did for our community.
