Charlie Ellis - 2nd Vice President 
Term: May 2019 - April 2020

Although raised in Philadelphia, Charlie Ellis was born in Washington, and while stationed at the Pentagon during his Army service, he met his future wife here at the International Student House. Charlie and his wife of nearly forty years, returned in 2007 after spending many years in Richmond VA. Charlie thinks DC is America’s finest city, and Dupont Circle is the finest neighborhood!

Charlie’s community interests include preserving the beautiful architecture of our Dupont Circle neighborhood, pushing for progress in management of the environment, and otherwise promoting the livability and fairness of our city and our world for the generations to follow us. Charlie also likes travel, reading, music, and strolling around town when time permits. Charlie hopes, among other things, to assist in expanding DCCA’s membership and its community outreach efforts.

Susan Volman - Treasurer
Term: May 2019 - April 2020

Susan Volman moved to Washington in 1996 for a temporary job at the National Science Foundation, and rented an apartment in Castleton.  In 1998, she accepted a job at the National Institutes of Health in Rockville, sold her house in Columbus, OH, where she had been on the faculty of The Ohio State University, and bought a house on the 1500 block of Corcoran Street, which she could see from her apartment window.

After becoming a Dupont Circle home owner, Susan began her community involvement with the old PSA 309, in what is now known as Borderstan.  She also attended ANC meetings, and in 2005 served on a subcommittee to study whether a zoning overlay would be a better balanced approach to the periodic need to renew the 17th Street alcoholic beverage license moratorium.   Although they concluded this was not a viable solution, the experience gave Susan a deeper understanding of community issues and acquaintance with a wider range of people in the community.

Susan joined DCCA in 2003 because the meeting programs, such as candidate forums, were of interest, and (she confesses) because DCCA meetings were often held in mysterious buildings that were not generally open to the public.  She is still learning about the activities of the DCCA board and discovering where she can most effectively serve to maintain and improve the quality of life and opportunities for the diverse population of Dupont Circle.

Jen Kane - Secretary
Term: May 2019 - April 2020

She is mom to 1-year-old William, who loves watching the dogs in the S Street dog park and playing on the sidewalk in front of their house. Jen is passionate about getting involved with her local community, and improving local schools and parks. Over the past year, she has helped DCCA with social media outreach and the Dupont Circle House Tour, and would like to help build the membership and awareness about DCCA's many activities in the neighborhood.  Professionally, Jen has a degree in English writing from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. She works for the University of Queensland's North America office as their regional director.

Kerry Kemp - Board Member
Term: May 2019 - April 2022

Kerry Kemp has had the very good fortune to have lived in Dupont Circle for decades and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Taking up residence at 21st and N Streets as a recent Middlebury college graduate, she was thrilled to be in the heart of an economically and racially
diverse, historic neighborhood. This neighborhood had everything she could possibly want—work, bars and dance clubs, bookstores, record stores, movies, art galleries, museums, restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, etc.—within easy walking distance.

Kerry is an avid reader, gardener, and researcher who is passionate about public policy issues. Her first job in DC was with Americans for Democratic Action, a liberal lobbying organization. In the mid-1980s, she began working as a researcher and policy analyst at the bipartisan Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), which provided authoritative information to Congress on complex scientific and technical issues. When OTA was dismantled in 1995, Kerry began working as an independent writer and editor on health and environmental policy documents for a variety of national and international organizations, private companies, foundations, think tanks, and government agencies.

Kerry treasures the diverse community, the small businesses, green spaces, and the unique historic structures that make Dupont Circle so special and wants to preserve them. She also believes that green transportation and housing options are key to the neighborhood's continued growth  and vitality in the coming years. Kerry hopes that by involving people who have different perspectives and needs and types of expertise in planning efforts, the Dupont Circle community can develop sustainable infrastructure for the 21 st century in a way that improves the
quality of life for everyone.

Marcy Logan - Board Member
Term: May 2018 - April 2021

Marcy Logan has worn a number of different hats in the world of D.C. real estate. She started in 1971 as a real estate agent on Capitol Hill and quickly became her own best client. She bought, renovated and sold a number of houses on Capitol Hill and Dupont Circle. During the period of high interest rates, she started a condominium management company which she sold to her partner and her husband. While on Capitol Hill she oversaw renovations for a developer, and in Northwest she was a construction superintendent for Van Ness Condominiums.

On Capitol Hill Marcy was active with the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, helping out the BZA committee with applications for special exemption construction permits. Her degree is in English literature from Miami University in Ohio which led to an early background in the printing industry and trade magazine production.

Her outside interests reflect her attitude that she is willing to “try anything” once. She has extensive blue water sailing experience and was a rock climber and runner. Frequent trips to the Shenandoah to maintain her active antique business also allow Marcy to delve into her avid birding interests. Marcy assisted for a short time sculptor John Cavanaugh in his studio on the corner of 18th and Swann, not having any idea that she would some day have a gallery on Swann St., The Swann Street Gallery, which she happily runs with her partner, Daniel Kuhn, at this time along with managing her real estate in Dupont Circle.
