Community Board Guidelines
Posting Requirements
The Community Board is a tool for the public, city agencies, and nonprofit agencies to promote community events, services, and activities.
Events should be located in Ward 7 or Ward 8, open to the public, community-oriented, and sponsored by the DC or federal government, by an agency or group that is a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity (e.g., charitable, educational, registered nonprofit, governmental, etc.), or a non-income generating community group or individual. Political events are acceptable as long as they are not single candidate events.
Events do not have to be free, but must be open to the general public. We reserve the right to refuse to post or to remove announcements or events that are deemed offensive, pornographic, inappropriate, discriminatory, or not in the public interest.
What is Not Allowed
How to Submit an Event
In order to have your Ward 7 or Ward 8 event added to the calendar, submit the event details via email (wards7and8@gmail.com) with "Community Board Event" in the subject line. To be approved, all submissions must contain the following information:
1. Event title
2. Event date
3. Start and end times. IF your event repeats, indicate the day(s) (such as third Thursday of the month)
4. Event description
5. Contact information (name, phone, email, sponsoring organization)
6. Location (The complete address, including zip code, building, room, etc.)
7. Link to information posted on website or blog, if available.
8. If you would like an image to appear with your listing, please attach--or better--send us a link to the image online. Note that the full image may not necessarily appear because the application limits the size.
**We will not retype information from an image file (.jpg, .png) or from a PDF.
There is no limit to the number of events you submit. This is a community calendar so all appropriate events are encouraged!
Submissions/requests must be made at least 48 hours before the event date to be posted. If there is a change to your event (location change, cancellation, etc.) please contact us to edit the entry.
