By Richard Chew, Reston Association Elections Committee Chair
More than six decades ago, Robert E. Simon set out to create a community that would emphasize quality of life, where residents could live, work, and play in harmony, enjoying shared open spaces and scenic beauty.
Today, Reston stands as one of the region’s most well-respected communities, still grounded in Simon’s vision. The responsibility of maintaining that delicate balance between “live, work, play and get involved” rests with the Reston Association (RA) and its Board of Directors. Now more than ever, the Board plays a crucial role in preserving the character of Reston and its commitment to housing, open spaces, and community amenities.
If you’re passionate about shaping Reston’s future, we invite you to consider running for a position on the RA Board of Directors.
The RA Board of Directors guides the policies and procedures of the Association, ensuring the upkeep of more than 50 miles of trails, overseeing recreational programs, events, and facilities, and contributing to the development of the annual budget and key capital projects. Board members play an essential part in making sure that Reston continues to thrive as a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient community.
If you’re invested in Reston’s legacy and want to play a role in securing its future, consider running for one of three open seats on the Reston Association Board.
For information on eligibility, candidate details, and application materials, visit the Board of Directors Election page online or view the Statement of Candidacy Form. All candidate materials must be filed no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, January 30.
