The members of Washington DC chapter unanimously decided to take a step forward and form a formal OBU for Washington DC area taking advantage of the enormous freedom and autonomy offered to the chapters by DAANA constitution.

Evolution of DC Chapter to a formal OBU, from a loosely bound chapter was accomplished by the election of a board of office bearers.
