Village Council

An elected five-member Council governs the Village of North Chevy Chase. It operates under a charter and regulations approved by the state legislature and county council, respectively. The members of the Council, all of whom are unpaid for their service, are elected at the annual Village meeting in May for two-year terms that begin June 1. To maintain continuity, two members are elected in odd-numbered years and three are elected in even-numbered years. The position that each Council member holds is decided among Council members.

Village Manager

Day-to-day operations of the Village are the responsibility of the Village Manager. The Manager, Susan Theis, is the primary point of contact for persons seeking information about Village operations including building permit applications.
