MOCCA DC Information

Effective May 6, 2020, the Council of the District of Columbia enacted D.C. Law 23-87, mandating the establishment of an Office on Caribbean Affairs within the DC government. Executive Director Natalee S. Snider was appointed by Mayor Muriel Bowser on June 6, 2022 as the first Executive Director of the Mayor’s Office on Caribbean Community Affairs. MOCCA is committed to promoting and engaging the District’s Caribbean Community residents, faith leaders, and business owners so they may successfully integrate into civic, economic, and cultural life in the District. As the Mayor’s liaison to the Caribbean Diaspora in Washington, DC, we connect Caribbean residents and businesses with District agencies to foster efficient and effective partnerships, improve access to services, and help break down language and cultural barriers.
