The DCCC is an organization established by the Archdiocese of Washington to serve as a forum that communicates and promotes positions that are shaped by Catholic moral and religious beliefs on public issues in the District of Columbia. The DCCC joins over 25 Catholic Conferences nationwide. To provide Catholic moral leadership and vision in the area of public policy in the District of Columbia. The DCCC is governed by the Board of Directors which establishes conference policy and initiatives.
Board members serve three-year terms with no more than two consecutive terms.
The terms of members of the initial Board may be staggered terms of service for one, two or three years. At all times a majority of the Board members must reside in the District. I expect that the Board will be finalized within the next few weeks and the first Board meeting will be convened. The mission of the Board of Directors is to identify, analyze and review public policy issues for their social and moral dimensions, measuring the public policies against Gospel values that are the essence of our Catholic social teachings. Priorities for advocacy are then set based on these parameters.
