Town Seeks Volunteer for Bethesda Downtown Design Advisory Panel

The Town is seeking a volunteer with architectural or urban design experience to serve as the Town's representative on Montgomery Planning's Bethesda Downtown Design Advisory Panel (DAP). The primary goal of the Design Advisory Panel is to provide advice and recommendations to developers that will heighten design excellence and improve the quality of architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture in Bethesda. 

While DAP meetings are primarily for panel members to consider and comment on proposed developments, meetings are collaborative, and input from developers, their consultants, and members of the public is encouraged. Because panel members are volunteers, however, the DAP is not expected to meet for more than one hour on any single project.

DAP meetings typically take place on the fourth Wednesday of every month, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. These meeting dates and times are subject to change. Currently all meetings are hybrid, both in-person and online.  

If you are interested in serving on the DAP, please email townoffice@townofchevychase.org and include a few sentences about your qualifications and interest to serve.
